I was lucky enough to have a large down payment. I don't recall how much I owe. I'm old ******' balls, though. I'm 30. It's the newest thing I've ever owned. I put down like, $7500? When my grandfather passed, my father got the house and I got a good bit of money from it. So.. I say 'lucky' but it's loosely refered.
I paid mine off early in the hopes we could get a better mortgage. As it turns out the US will screw me over by giving us a bad rate after we get a locking rate for our townhouse in 2 months
Bought mine new for $23k, a month after turning 22, with $1k down, the difference in my apartment safety deposit in moving from NYC to NH, and paid it off a bit before I turned 24. Had a terrible interest rate and couldn't stand to see how much I was spending on interest every year.
I had my shifter assembly replaced under warranty...which expires in 3 days I believe. It would not pop up out of the reverse lockout anymore...and no, I don't abuse reverse or use excessive force going into reverse.
Auto crossed my car for what could be the last time ever this sunday. It has been a great car but after I get back from school next spring I think I want something without a turbo. No turbo lag in an auto cross would be amazing.
