| $594 at an interest rate that pains me but I’m rebuilding credit after a long time without utilizing any following a foreclosure etc. Now I’m paying the price for letting my credit become stagnant even though my score is better than decent my lack of utilization has hurt me. Oh well this car loan is going to make a difference - I hope to pay it off early and go another 15 years without a loan after that since I bought another Toyota. Meanwhile I guess I need to get a credit card and use it for my incidentals and pay it in full every month so I can be a grown up consumer. |
| You also need to ask about length of the loan. We pay $260 for one car and $400 for another but the length is different on each which is why one is higher. |
| $800 Honda CRV Hybrid. 3.9% APR |
$330 until I paid off the balance so now it's $0. |
| We have a high-end German luxury SUV, that cost about $110k, which we bought new in 2021. Traded in our old vehicle and put a lot down, so monthly payment was around $700/month. Paid it off after 6 months just to have one less hassle every month. We own about 300k worth of cars in our garage, all relatively new, all paid off. |
We've always paid cash for cars, so have never had a car payment |
| $686 for a 2024 Model Y with 1.99% APR with about $3000 down. Could have paid in cash, but Tesla had 1.99% promotion at that time. |
Oh, OP. You invited the sanctimommies to come out in full force. They are tiresome, but you are naive. |

$1540/mo
Escalade bought new. |
The money is making more money elsewhere. I know it's the right call I just hate the sight of such a high car note. It's like how I don't prepay my low rate mortgage, but I still understand why some people do. Sometimes there's a bill that just stings. |
I drive a mortgage.

Math is hard, isn't it? I weep for the educational future of our country. |

I am curious what German SUV you have that cost $110K. |
| zero, pay cash and keep them till they die. We will buy a new car soon and pay cash. |
