    I financed my 2014 only because the money makes more for me then the cost of the loan. Funny thing is I was sent the title and its i my name. Put it my safe and no one has asked for it back.

    Congratulations, it is a great feeling. I have not financed a vehicle for the last 7 vehicles. If I cant pay cash I don't buy it. That is just me. I do have a mortgage so I do not think financing is a sin or anything. :D

    I was of the same opinion for a long time, but took the cost of my taco and invested it. As long as I'm making more off my money invested than the APR on my truck, I consider it a win.

    I totally agree but finding something to pay me more than I would spend in interest is a challenge these days. I thought about loan sharking but breaking legs/arms comes with liabilities. j/k :)

    In TX and paid off too. The title should come and note no lean. You shouldn't have to do anything. I had Capital One on my 2013, and once paid off the title came to me clean. It's a great feeling to have no payment and lots of life left. Time to mod!

    Congratulations! I did the same thing 40+ years ago. Saved the payment amount and have been able to pay cash for every vehicle since. Living without debt is a bit rough for a few years, but pays off big time in the long run.

    Congrats and it is a great feeling. Saved for new PRO and paid cash so no lien. Saw lots of posts about cost of loan vs. investing return. For the price of the truck, the interest you earn on saving that is pretty much the same as loan apr. To each their own. Either way your free! Congrats
