After Five Long Years...

... the Cougar is finally paid off!!

It's such a good feeling to know that I own the car 100% now... even if it's not going to be for long. Some time during the spring or summer I'll most likely be saying goodbye to the ole girl and jumping into another car payment.

I'm just not absolutely sure what I want yet. Anyway, figured I'd share my good news!

LOL

for sure on that one.
I actually thought this thread was going to be about you getting rid of the Cougar before I clicked it.

why not keep it and buy another car.... its not going to cost you anything to keep.

Well, for the cars that I'm looking at, I'm def going to need the money from the trade/sale of the Cougar in order to afford the monthly payments. Besides, I don't have the room or the need for a second car.

in that case i understand but sell it out right... trade-in's arent worth crap

lol! I did that. I bought the Subaru the same day I paid off my old car (Maxima). Can't really recommend it.

Actually, the Subaru Legacy is one of the few cars on the top of my list. I just need to schedule a test drive one of these days. You still loving the car?

you can normally talk them down just as much without trading something in..

I love not having a car payment every month.
