TWO!
I was just doing bills, looked at Quicken, and realized we have only two payments left on our car.
TWO!
Then it’s ours, free and clear, and that’s extra money that can go into savings. Or pay for our trips this fall. Or pay for the new wood stove.
AWESOME!

Awesome!!
We still have two years left..i think. I should probably check on that.
Free and clear money is the BEST kind.

Yay! I have 9 or 10 left on my Honda, I salute your achievement!

Woohoo!!!
… until the car ages to the point where it needs monthly maintenance and repair/replace things done to it that equal the car payments – at which point you might as well just get a new car.
Fortunately, my car is still (mostly) in the sweet spot in between those points. Assuming I go to honest mechanics, at least….

That’s why we bought a Toyota Corolla. It replaced a 12 year old Camry that was just *starting* to need regular work, but since we had only one car, we figured reliability was worth a car loan.
So I figure we’ve got several more years out of this car before we begin to worry about it. Although I have been tempted to get something a little larger–like a Camry. Especially when I have to sit in the back seat.

Yeah, we just bought a vehicle, and our last one didn’t even limp across the “last payment” line before dying. Sigh. I’ll take some vicarious joy on your almost paid off car. :)
