When we had a loan with our credit union for my CRV, I had the money direct deposited from each paycheck to cover the loan payment plus $100. When we paid off that loan, I just let the direct deposit stand and that money has been building up for Hubby's next car. That, plus our small tax refund and whatever bonus I get will be our down payment. We will finance whatever is left with our credit union at a really low rate for a couple of years. It will be the fastest I ever paid off a car. Except for the $2500 cash car we bought for teenagers to drive.

I was thinking about taking money out of savings but I think I'm going to go with a payment. But I'm like you and we keep our cars for a very long time and we take care of them so I think that it is a good investment even if its at the champagne end of the spectrum.

They are just suck holes for your income. That being said Hubs will need to replace his vehicle very soon.<br />Thankfully he has not grand ideas for a lux ride, yet. ;-)<br /><br /><br />Glad the new bed is doing it for ya! 8-)slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
