    All paid off here!

    2009 purchased in February 2009. It feels good to not have monthly payments and know that I have bumper to bumper for 7 years and powertrain for LIFE!

    Recession....what? :notsure:



    And to think...I find people jobs for a living!

    Nope. Still owe roughly around 4 years. I hate making payments but after I'm done paying off the Taco the next thing on the list is a house for the family. :)

    I have a 2008. I paid off the note last November. I had a $400 monthly payment, but I paid a $1,000 per month most months and once I got it down to about $5,000 I went ahead and paid it off. It is nice to not have a payment.

    ballers. 4 years to go. For the past 11 years, I've always had a car payment. :eek:

    Except for about a 3 month span when I paid off my 2nd vehicle. That was nice not having a monthly car payment but sure didnt last long... :eek:

    I got the tacoma after totaling a 2003 Mazda Protege5. Actually ended up getting over KBB value (got $9,800 opposed to $8,000 KBB.) Used it as down payment. Bought a house and got an unexpected $8k tax credit which I also put toward the Tacoma. After making payments for about a year, my CDs were nearing maturity. The interest rates on them were all time low at 3% to renew so I decided to instead pay off the 6% Toyota Loan.

    I have to say, it's very nice to actually really own something and have extra $500 a month.

    No payment for me. Dave Ramsey is my hero. 26 years old with only a mortgage loan of 14 more years (although it will be paid off waaaay before then!) Debt is normal. Be weird!!!
