Default How much do you owe for the LS?

I just made another small payment online to Citi tonight for $171, to get my interest free loan down to $900 even. It should be paid off by the first week in May. It took me 9 months to pay this car off at $8995, including a $1250 trade-in.

I paid for it right away. I hate payments, otherwise I would have went for an LS430 right away.

good job man!! It'll feel great to have it all paid off!!

I've always paid cash for my cars, I'd hate to have payments! Plus, being a "repo-man", I guess I get to see the other side too often to know I don't want to make payments

Might be worried about counterfeit bills, sometimes cashiers check is safer...then again people forge those too.

I'm like some of the other members here, don't like owing money. I paid mine off when I purchased it. Congrats and you're almost paid off!

Paid cash. Got mine for a steal. $2500, 1992 LS400 with 160K miles. Never had a car payment in my life...the insurance and gas are killing me enough.

traded my '02 Taurus to a family member for $4.5k and a 1993 LS with 130k.

so I'm in the 'nothing' club.

all cars paid in full with paypal and credit cards. Credit cards were paid too Got some sweet amex reward points as a result.

But then again all our cars cost the same as a nice computer or laptop. We buy cheap cars.
