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. :)

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.

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….

Awesome!!
We still have two years left..i think. I should probably check on that.

Free and clear money is the BEST kind.
