the only way a rattle can paintjob is worth it is if you save yourself the time and money for prep and accept shitty results.
if you're willing to do all the leg work, body work, prep, sanding, primering, sanding...you might as well cough up some scratch for some decent paint out of a legit gun.

At least if the car was a house, that 120 in interest would be tax deductible

4.59 to 2.99% if I refi with Chase over USAA...
I have about 5 years left on my original 6 year loan...so I'd just go 5 year on the new loan.
Sooo...
payment will be down $220 a month...hmmmm...
I applied, fuck it for now. Or pay off and just have no car payment and not pay someone else ANY interest.

Gah, Cash is King but only if you're currently putting it to use, right? Otherwise it's in an account getting .00000001% interest for you.

Frantz, bat signal!

Or sell wagon and be financially sound...
Were you serious about wanting to buy a V wagon? They're getting scarce now, which makes me think I should just hang onto it a bit more. Then again, there will be an equilibrium point where age and rarity will start to balance out. I think the Sedan is already taking a hit there with the V3 sedans being out.

Yeah bro...I missed some key financial talk points in the last year...had my head up my butt...just trying to tread water emotionally. Fog is lifting though...next phase is taking shape and I'm making some tactical moves.

Don't even get me started on your lifetime warranty...
makes NO sense for you to ever sell that car.

As much as I'd love to buy, I have bigger priorities on the horizon. Can't have Majofo be the only one out here buying houses & shit.

I do want moar power though

Unless you go CD or decide to put some risk in your game, those are probably among the best returns you can get for now

Inflation is ~2-3% If you can get into that ballpark, no reason not to just take the loan.

Wait a minute.. @4.59% and 120 / mo on interest assuming 5 years?
That means you paid 60k on the V?!?!?

J what I did is I got the best rate I could before going in which was like 2.2 or 2%
Worst case, I got a damn good rate..
Went into the dealership and they work with every bank imaginable..
They want you to get a loan through them because they make juice on every deal
sure enough.. bam.. they beat my rate by half a point.. they make a little money, I pay less interest
handsies for everyone...

Now my bro who just bought his truck
The dealer was like, best we can do for this certified truck and 10k down is 8%
Fuck you, fuck your mother, fuck your intern and fuck your dog too, we're out of here
Manager chased us down..
Hey Pete, didn't that bank just get back to you right this second..
Uhhhh yeah.?!?! what's that rate?!?! 4.5%
Deal..

My bro has shit credit from having to short sale in the downturn
But he makes bank.. he already paid off the truck.
But still.. fuck paying interest!

J.. I recommend searching carsdotcom or another site that promotes auto loans
check with your bank and whatever the internet recommends (wholesale lenders)
from there you should find a very competitive refi
