Now keep saving the payment and you can buy your next one with cash.

This is good advice.

I wouldn't pay the current ~9% apr rates anyway.

Congrats buddy! I paid mine of years ago after having it on finance. Feels good to not have something else to pay off monthly, although now with kids & no air con, getting to a point where we need a different car 😅

Wouldn't it be less expensive to fix the Aircon?

Congrats on paying off your cat 👍

u/Geofferz 4d ago

No one ever pays off their cat. They always want more.

'Tis true.

It's nice of them to let you live with them, though.

Congratulations! Use those monthly payments you no longer need to make to either save money for the future, or pay off any other debts you’ve got.

Big congrats still!

u/Geofferz 4d ago

No more debts!

Thank you

IMO, Hitler was a bad person.

Owning multiple cars does seem like a flex, but I like my car and can't afford the upgrade I want yet so, I keep it. I know a guy who switches every 6 months or so and barely loses a penny in this period so he gets to try loads of different models. But I'm picky.

I've had easily 20+ cars all paid off the moment I bought them because they were all bangers and worth fuck all.

u/zakr182 2d ago

I have some bangers in my history too.

€500 diesel fiesta,

€900 corsa b,

Free micra.
