I haven't posted here in several years, but I think that's a good thing--my E has done so well that I haven't needed much help or advice.

I just paid off my E, about two months early from my 4-year loan. 8) It's such a nice feeling, and now I am finally treating him to new tires. Can you believe I still have the OEM tires on there?! I've never liked them, but it wasn't an absolute necessity to change them before now, and since I'm a college student, other expenses were always taking priority. But I'm so glad to have new tires on the way (I went with Michelin LTX M/S).

Now I'm thinking about what other nice things I can do for my E...

Congrats...............it is a great feeling - as Dave Ramsey says, a paid-off car just drives better !

Congratulations , You have alot of nice goodies on your E already , looking at your wishlist , I would not recommend the privacy curtain , I've had mine since day one and never used it ! Unless you plan on sleeping in their , save that money and think of something better , it's pricey ! Try H and A they've got tons of stuff and are easy to work with !

Congratulations!

Thank you, everyone! I do feel like it drives better now. :razz:

jesbecause, thank you for the advice! I do want to be able to 'camp out' in my car now and then, but I don't like that the OEM curtain is vinyl (according to H and A, at least...or maybe it's vinyl-coated?), anyway, so I think I'll remove it from my wishlist and try Shen's instructions on how to make one.

Sweet! I'm getting close. I can't believe you kept those Wranglers on it for that long. They must be completely bald. The E drives much better with real tires on it so get ready.

Congrats on the paid off E! I'm not there yet but at least I have a plan. Wife and I are in our "Total Money Makeover" per Mr. Ramsey

I am the exact opposite, about to make my first payment on my 10!

It's a great feeling, I just paid mine off a couple of months ago!! Having just finished Dave Ramsey's course I agree with the comments - it's great to have one more thing that I don't have payments on.... :shock::roll::razz::razz:

CONGRATS!!!!

Yeah, me too! I bought mine used. Got a great deal on it (so I think anyway). It's an '04 and only had 37,100 miles on it. Got her for $11,000. First payment is due April 14th. It's kinda scary in the sense that I haven't had a car payment in about 5 years.

Congrats on the payoff Athelwyn!

I have 12 payments left....This will be the first vehicle i ever owned that had the warranty expire at the same time the loan was paid off.

Paid mine off last month. Took about ten days for the title to come.

Oh, great, just in time for things to go wrong :shock:...... at least with most warranted goods :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Thanks again, everyone!

I just hit 28,000 miles. I've been driving work and college mostly (I'm an 'adult student'); the only real trips I've taken have been flights, not major road trips, so that's how the tires have lasted this long. They are in sad, sad shape now, though! I can't wait for my new tires to arrive, and I want to take the E camping.

I hear you on the warranty thing...I did get an extended warranty, but the company went bankrupt and the warranty went to another company. I really need to check up on that. :twisted:
