I'm not trying to tell you how to handle your business, but I don't amortize the loans for more than 3 years on vehicles. I did it one time, and if I hadn't put so much down it would have been really easy to get upside down on it. And at that point it is kind of a vicious cycle, if you try to trade. Newer cars just lose too much value in 5 years. JMO. Some guys set it up longer and pay extra principle. That's fine, I just don't ever get around to it, and the rates are much more favorable (right now) in the 3 year notes, that it wasn't worth it. The other thing is that the interest rates are so low, that on my wifes car (no trade in) I didn't put much down and kept the money. It was going to cost us like $200 to keep our $6,000. My payments are pretty high, but if I've got the cash to use if I need it for the car or something else. |

Well, I would have gone for a Challenger (2 door) but the sticking point that I'd like to have is the AWD, and unfortunately, the Challengers don't make AWD.

Of course, we can't predict the future, but at least we can try to prepare for it as the best we can.

It wasn't new, it was used.

Yeah, well it was new, but it wasn't what I really wanted, since a person made me "settle" less for what I really wanted, and since it's no longer my problem anymore, I'm not going to settle anymore.
So I'm going to do whatever I damn want, whenever I please, and not a damn thing will stop it. I work hard for the things that I want.
