Don't remind me. I wanted in so bad. But I kept my money safe instead of taking the risk. Oh well.

Congrats to you though.

 

Nearly every stock had a huge jump after Feb 2009. Timing is everything.

 

Lots of folks here with wads of disposable cash....I need to make more money!

15K down....12K financed @3.9% for 60 months = very low monthly payment. Always pay extra as I want to pay her off early.

 

i'll answer the questions

ZERO owed
i'm 43
almost 5 years ago i started to buy $200 of discounted co. stock/week to chase a GT500
since i dollar/cost averaged i didn't lose anything but the stock didn't move much except for my 10% discount and 3+% dividend
when the 5.0 came around at 412 hp i sold 3/4 of the stock and paid $cash$

was thinking of $20k down and a low interest rate but by owning outright i have liability and comprehensive insurance, no collision and pay $480/year
it's not a daily driver, owned for a little over 3 months and have 163 miles on it

 

I opted to finance 100% and pay off my 09 Tacoma instead. Now I will just dump $$ on the stang.

 

I put down $16255 ... in order to do so I sold both my '04 Mustang & '67 Fairlane plus an aditional $2800 in cash. Desired no more than $300/mo payments so I financed $10,800 though Ford Credit (0% for 36 months) and have made 4 payments so I owe $9600.

Nicely done

 

i have 10,000 so far to put down, want another 3,000 plus my 2003 Gt trade.

 

I wrote the check - around $35,800.

I'm 39.

 

I owe 16k, purchased in July have 4.9 %

will be paid off early, 1-2 years from now

I'm 23

 

I owe 14k, they put me in for a 72 month loan but it will be paid off in 36 or less. I only did the loan to build credit, I'm 24.

 

I financed just under $30k for 60 mos

 

That's good, 72 months is way too long to be paying on a depreciating asset.

 

It is due to expertice of government entitlements such as the stimulus.

I learned a long time ago not to spend my money when I can spend someone else's, at no cost to me. With that said, I always finance, if the interest rate is lower then what I make on my cash bearing interest accounts. I have the cash, but why spend it. I have a zero percent loan, from VW, on my wife's car. Why give up my money that is making money when they are willing to give me money, at no cost to me? I have a 2.9 percent loan, on my Mustang, from the Credit Union which pays me more then that on my interest bearing accounts, so why not finance the cars.

 

$29K ... 0% for 72 months .. I put $0.00 down ...

 

paid kzach for mine.. Sold my 08 4x4 5.7L Tundra and paid the difference cash.. 37 years young..

 

One payment - cash only! Bought it in August of 2007. Wife hates to finance anything, so we saved some bucks and went and got what we wanted.
