October 15, 20169 yr Just curious. If you recall, post your first monthly car loan payment amount, and your most recent (assuming the two are for different vehicles). 1994 : $231/month : '94 F-150. Sticker price was $16,016. current : $141/month : wife's '11 Jeep (bought in Feb). Edited October 15, 20169 yr by balthazar
October 15, 20169 yr 1993 - $379 for 1994 GMC SLE Fully loaded Suburban which I still own. Current - none, all are paid off.
October 15, 20169 yr 2003- $200 for my Dodge Dakota R/T Currently- $414 for my GTI I've had many in the $500's in between, and over $600 for one car. At one point, I had $1,200 in car payments between my two cars. Young and dumb.
October 15, 20169 yr Currently $359 for a Jetta TDI, but that does not really count as I get what I laid for back when I turn it back into VW for the settlement. So every payment made is money in the bank, given that it is a zero percent loan. Only other cars I had payments on were my Mini which was about $250 a month and the Miata which was $190. Paid both cars off after a couple of years, do not like car payments. Balthazar...what happened to the wife's Malibu? When I suggested a Chrysler product back in the day I was hoping for a Challenger. And yes, almost all of my cars have been cash deals, I really dislike banks.
October 17, 20169 yr my mazda's was like 479 for ~25K, 5 years refied down to ~356 for 5.5 years, but am at pace to pay it off in the original 5 years.

October 17, 20169 yr First loan was in 98, 150 a month for a 93 Thunderbird 5.0 LX Most current: 280 for the bug 260 for the Camry Ridiculously high interest rate, but have had some issues over the years and hope to refi in a year or 2 for a lower interest rate/payment.

October 17, 20169 yr 2004 Mustang GT - Loan was $10,500 - $198/month 2006 Mercedes C350 - Loan was $12,000 - I think it was around $225/month 2003 Mach 1 - I don't remember the loan but I believe I paid around $250/month I only paid 12,500 for the car so I'm not 100% on the rest of the numbers. I just remember my payments have slowly been scaling up for larger loans. It might have only been a 4 year loan for that payment. I know I didn't get a loan for $12,500 either. The loan was probably more like 10k. 2013 Ford Escape - Loan was $15,000 - $278/month 2.89%

Thinking of finding a Mustang of that era used, but my wife is not into Mustangs.

I'm glad I owned it while I did and I definitely want another 99-04 Mustang some day down the road. They're definitely not the fastest cars but they're the last of the small-ish Mustang and they're still a pretty raw car. No interior amenities and safety things. Just car and a switch to turn off the traction control. This was mine.
October 17, 20169 yr Gorgeous! I always wondered what would have happened if Ford had continued the modern design language with the 2005 Mustang. The 99-04 cars are the most Modern/Contemporary Mustangs, and also have the fantastic modular v8 exhaust note. They are a hard thing to not fall seriously in love with.

October 20, 20169 yr My first isn't a very good example considering I only financed $4k as a personal loan. - $120/month. Currently with my GTI: - $309/month.
