So, the other day while the forum was down, I took the money I made selling my 2002 Honda VFR800 and my tax return, went down to the bank, and paid off my S2k.

Then yesterday I drove all the way to Dallas and bought a perfect black 2005 Element to join it in the garage. This whip will be the wife's. We needed something utilitarian and what better than another Honda.

 

Congrats on the payoff!! It's nice to live payment free.

 

congrats! still have about 1500 left on mines.

 

Congrats! I agree payment free is nice. I don't think I could live without my 2004 VFR800 'though.

 

Thanks. I hate having a payment on anything. I love knowing that the S is all mine to do as I please and keep as long as I wish. There is certain satisfaction in that. Also, with the economy today, debt free is the way to be.


I decided to get rid of the VFR800 because after getting the S2k a year ago, I just didn't ride the bike enough anymore. That, and the VFR and the S were too similar. I'll get another bike one day, but I need some variety in my toys.

 

Congrats on the payoff, I won't know what that's like for awhile since I want to get another S after I payoff the 99 SI. Even if I had never wrecked my S I wouldn't have paid that thing off for like 5 years....

 

Definitely congrats on paying her off.

I've had mine paid off since 2007 and it's a great feeling! I do not plan to ever making payments on another car...will continue to buy used with cash but do not foresee the need for another vehicle for at least a few more years.

 

Well, I'm not debt free, just working on it. I financed the Element and I still have my mortgage.

 

I never buy new. I know what I can afford and buy gently used cars then pay them off as soon as I can. I've only had the S2k for a year before paying it off. If I could ever get enough money together at the same time I would pay cash for them. I always pay cash for bikes.

 

congrats on paying off your s! I think I have a little less than 8k left to go on my loan....
