No, but it would be a huge waste of money. Plus the bank would require you to insure the vehicle instead of just carrying liability.



If you car is worth over 15k you should probably be carrying more than liability.

Maybe I am wrong there though. Willing to change my mind.

$500/month (or $40k lump sum) invested at an average annual market return of 7% nets an improved investment against a 3% interest rate on a note, but carry on.

If you aren’t going to invest the money I agree the note is a bad decision if you can avoid it.

Found out the other day that paying cash for everything isn't good for your credit, so I took out a loan for a boat. Haven't had a loan in a long time. Kinda sucks

You just found out that not having a credit history will affect your credit?

How did you “find out”?

He is talking about a House note right? Who would owe on a car that is 7 yrs old intentionally?

What kind of car?


Range Rover Sport

She rear ended a family at a red light drunk in it, one had to go to the hospital, she didn't blow, got her license suspended, had a home alcohol monitor which she kept failing.

Judge threw her stupid arse in jail for 15 days.

Then I divorced her.

This was the 5 millionth stupid thing she had done.


Haven't seen nor spoken to the dumb bitch since March and I saved $900.00 aa month

Mine is $784 but that's about a third of one weekly paycheck. No sweat. It's an expensive car and I'm not going to stretch payments out. I'd rather get it over with, and I can afford it. I've been paying a hundred or so extra a month and I'm ahead of the payoff date a little now.

I'd have paid more cash down on it but I had to have something relatively quickly at the time.

When I sell it in a couple years and get a new Vette, I'm going to put a bigger down payment.

I do. Direct deposit. It's in my contract.

I only worked 8 hours today and made $1100.

I was just involved in a car purchase and 84 months wasn't even an option. Where are you guys seeing that?

Not in Prarieville you don't.

This is the kind of place where you walk outside after work and it feels better than it did inside.

I'm done with dark liquors. The hangovers are too painful.

Holy shite!

Most I ever go is 60 months and I inevitably pay it off a year early.

C’mon, who puts a down payment on a vehicle, and even if you did... your payment is 1/3 of a weekly paycheck, yet you couldn’t put anything down because you needed the car quick? Dafuq?
