First, I'd be saving the interest of taking out another loan (however small that is in the grand scheme of things). Second, I work in the oilfield. I'm safe for now, but you never know. I'm fine with the current note I carry, but it'd be even more of an ease on my mind if I didn't have a car note to worry about if I lost my job. Went from being note free on both vehicles by next year, to possible getting back into the beginning of a loan. The idea of no note is nice. So there is a benefit to getting out of a note all together.

As low as the rates have been, you're likely talking about $1500 or less. You'll lose more than that on the inbetween car you get.

Extremely valid point, and was the reason I edited my first response. That would be my biggest concern if I were in your shoes.
