    Good Grief, NO!!!!

    NOT even. My car has been paid off for 2 years and I expect to get another 3 years out of it. It will be 10 years old at that point and have about 150,000 miles on it.

    And I'll pay cash for the next one! No more car payments for THIS girl, thanks ever so!

    Karla,

    Hello. Congratulations on having no car debt. In adiition to the debt question, it is interesting to see whether people trade-in or drive a car until it dies.

    Thank you for posting.
