This is great to know since I might be looking for a new car in the upcoming year. I didn’t know you could prepay for interest. I got my Ford F150 in 03 and I’m going to keep it til it dies. It might not be the 240, but it’s perfect for me and at 140k it’s got a long way to go

Meg I would NEVER hate on the 240sx! I would LOVE to get another one it would have to be an early 90′s hatchback though. Maybe I can dream one day…

Evan, the 240SX is STILL a sweet car…. Don’t insult my 19 year old baby like that!

LOL at the odometer, yeah, mine’s stopped working… At 285k miles. The KA and tranny were pulled somewhere past 300k miles, both still working and yes, both original. The reason they were pulled was in favor of my pretty SR20DET. (Which, a month later, is still not in working order, ugh. Blown turbo.)

Totally get another, they are so worth it. (Wait, that’s bad financial advice, isn’t it? Oops…)

Last random thought — I’m digging this comment font…. Haha.

I encountered the same problem when I was paying off my student loan. They were kind enough to (eventually) ask me which I wanted to do…

FS: Don’t forget to nominate Friday Financial Foul Ups for the Multi-Part Series Plutus Award! I think it’s a neat idea for a series.

To be honest, I just got on top of my Stuff, but it actually it was a weird process. I applied through one of those aggregate sites where everyone emails you quotes and they ranged from 10 to 18! 18%?! I put on the app that I was paying 13%? What the hell.

And then out of no where my still current loan carrier called me and asked in no other certain terms, “what’s up? You aren’t happy?” and I said No I am in double digits, and then they brought me down to my current rate.

@FS You should have bought one of those bikes with two seats.

13%? That’s brutal for a car loan. Awesome to hear you have cleaned up the credit report. How’d you do it?
