Car finally paid off

Well done! How many miles?
You've got a 4.6L...so is it safe to say that it has been utterly trouble free, torquey and wonderful sounding for every mile?
I miss my 4.6L 2009....of course it wasn't as fast as the Coyote but that is a really nice motor and it sounds way better than the 5.0L

Congrats! Awesome feeling, isn't it?
I bought mine with a 72 month used car loan just this past April (interest rate was only .25% higher than 60 month anyhow), so I have some waiting to do. The good news is, I've been sending bi-weekly payments (for more than 1/2 the monthly payment would be) instead of just the monthly, so I should be paid off in 52 more months. Faster if I put my tax returns towards principal payments, instead of mods...so probably paid off in 52 more months
I'd probably have it paid off in less than 24 months if I didn't keep seeing parts I want and compulsively clicking the "add to cart" and "check out now" buttons...

Thanks again guys, it will be nice to start saving a little extra gold for mods for my car or for my new house. I am not too big on the current gen mustang and really love my GT and don't want to part with her for now. Funny thing is the ford dealership I bought my car new from in 2010 is starting to call me asking if I would be intersted in a trade. I just say no thanks.

Good for you. I like the new Mustangs a lot, but not enough that I'd ever trade my S197 in for one. It's not even that I like S197's THAT much more than the new 2015 body style, it's just that I can't justify spending $40k+ on a new car when the one I already have is awesome, and costs me 1/2 what the '15 would. Leaves a lot more money for mods. Even if I never hit the HP numbers the '15 has with full bolt-ons, I'd feel incomplete being stuck with a bone-stock '15. I never feel like a car is truly mine, paid off or not, until it's been modded MY way.
You have a rare thing. A really beautiful Mustang that's 100% yours, and the extra cash now to play with it however you want, if you want. I wouldn't trade in, either, were I you, unless there was something significantly wrong with it.
