"My" truck is now MY truck.
« on: June 30, 2005, 10:43:15 AM »
Just sent off a check for $314.14 to Toyota Financial Services, the payoff amount left on the loan.  The maturity date was 2/06/06 so I did get it paid off a bit early which is nice.

Finally I own my vehicle again, after eight years (Nissan pickup in '98 then starting on 2/06/01 the Toyota) of making autopayments I no longer have to.

2001 Toyota Tundra SR5 Extended Cab, 4WD, TRD, 50,400 miles and in good condition and most importantly, mine.:D

Karnak, wtg. Got one vehicle pd for myself, that our son drives. A great feeling, and it's like having "found" money, or getting a raise.

Thanks all.  It does feel good.

I am going to use the money to pay down my one remaining credit card debt.  After I was laid off I ended up having to put quite a bit on credit to stay afloat, which I did manage to do thankfully.


Maverick,

Nah, I'm not worried.  It is still under warranty.  When that expires is when it'll choose to break.:p   It hasn't had even minor breakdowns yet.

wtg karnak. Good feeling to be free and clear.

The last vehicle I financed was before I was married. I really have no desire to buy a new car. Thinking of all that depreciation and finance charges gives me a stomach ache.
