    Exactly. I like cars so it starts to suck keeping them for 10 years but otherwise I’d be in continual car payments.

    Also taxes and insurance get cheaper as the car gets older too, so that helps.

      Yup. We run two cars since we both commute for work but one is fully paid off and the other one is almost done. They payment for the first one is now going into a repair account for it and a down payment account.

      The reason we haven’t paid off the other car is because we had 0% financing. So the money going into the ally account is making us money vs the bank having it.

      We also have a gm card and both cars are gm. So we should have several thousands to redeem on that towards a new down payment.
