Who has their truck Paid off?

last payment goes out on Friday! Paid off in 17 months! Just bought wife new suv on friday so car payment continues.

 

I had been anticipating buying new truck for +/- year and saved to cash out needed difference. Purchased 2012 DCSB Prerunner Off Road TRD for $26000, sold 2002 DCSB Prerunner for $15000- cash needed after all fees, CA tax, etc $13,280. For you younger folks I've always thought (as a generalization) for the average working stiff the older you get the easier this is to do as hopefully you have more spendable/savable income in your 50/60's. I remember when I was young my dad bought a new truck and told me he paid cash- told him I was jealous and he told me don't be-for most of us when you can go pay cash for the truck you really want it might be the last one you buy! For me I kinda wish I had a payment and a few less years.

 

Paid off in February. It feels great to have the title in hand. Led the mods begin

 

I only have 59 more payments to go!!!

 

Paid cash. I could have financed it and done something else with the money to make al ittle money with it but I figured it would be pain in the ash. I like simplicity.

 

$14,000 done son

 

$43,000 done son .

 

Canadian Gas, $84.33/L, done son.

 

$1.44 / L

 

Since I paid cash when I bought mine and have no car payment, I still put a car payment worth of money away in savings each month. So as long as I don't have to prematurely get a new truck I'll be able to pay cash again next time around.

 

2011 Tacoma DC OFF road paid off! back to back deployments suck, but can pay off alot of shit!

 

I hear you brother ... no where to go with all the time and $$$ to do it ... I reenlisted in The Gulf in '90 ... tax free ... yipee!

 

Just paid mine off 2 weeks ago 2007 tacoma sr5 prerunner DC now i can do what ever i want to it......so now where to beginalready got the semi system in it now comes the customizing

 

I have about another year and a half of payments but my truck should be paid off much sooner than that. My goal is a year or less. Then after that, within 3 or 4 years, I should be totally debt free other than my house but it should be paid off in about maybe 7 or 8 years.

 

Cash...love it!

 

paid off the day I bought it (admittedly, I bought it use).

 

Paid in full the day I bought it, they wouldn't let me put it on the credit card...lol, I was hoping for the miles!

 

Ditto..was hoping for Discover card cash back!

 

I paid my 2011 off 2 months ago. It took me less than 17 months.

 

When I bought it, I put down $18k. They let me put $2k on my credit card to get the points. I too wanted to pay it all instead of writing a check. But they said I could not do it.
