Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!!



5 yrs ago, I bought the Mach thinking I would get bored, trade it in, and never pay it off. But that wasnt the case, she is MINE, ALL MINE. WOOO HOOOO!!!!

The bad news the wife says if I get a Boss or GT500, the Mach has to go.

At this point, I think I would cry if I saw someone drive away in it, never to return.

BUT I know if I whine enough, drool enough, and suck up enough, the Mach will have a partner in the future.

Then again, not having a car payment, might be something I will enjoy.

Congrats! It was a surreal feeling when I paid mine off. It took a while to sink in.

Re: Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!!

about this time next year, your vacation to Belize is already paid for.
or maybe a week to be a beach bum in Cancun.

on the down-side, i'm twice as paranoid about someone else crashing into the Mach after getting it paid for.

Re: Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!!

I have had 8 mustangs and everyone I sold I wanted back later so I've told my wife that I will never sell another one even when I get another one. I'll just build another bay on my garage.

WE still have a car payment but the Mach was mine. Ive had a payment for over 20 yrs, it feels strange thats for sure.

500 hp and supercharger has my 'wants' on over drive at the moment. Of course, I dont use the 300 hp I have now so I dont know why I need it.

Yea Ive thought about that as well. The extra money each month sure will be nice.

I have an empty bay in my garage now. A garage she never goes in. I wonder how long I could hide it before she finds it.

Re: Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!!

Congratulations. Best part (besides no car payments) is having a car that looks as good and gets as many looks as just about any new car out there.

I am a total car nut, love cars, but hate car payments. Enjoy some time without a car payment!

Re: Paid off!!!! Its officially mine, all mine!!!!

Congrats, I bought a new 2004 GT and paid it off in the 5 years. Once paid off I found this Mach with only 5300 miles. My GT had 90,000 miles when I traded for it. Now the Mach has 62,000 miles and only two more payments. Will I trade in the Mach for a 2015 of just go with no payments for awhile. Stay tuned for the answer.

I am most absolutely serious! While it was my choice based on financial reasons, I still call that car "my car", even thought it has now been passed to 2 other people.

I have two "the one that got away" car stories, and this is one of them.

Keep working on her....when I paid mine off a few years ago, my wife thought I only " needed" one car for weekend driving. After a year, I now have added a GT500 and a Fox. I am next adding a Gen 1 Mustang......you never have enough.
