I thought this would be an interesting thread, I'm not sure if there has been one in the past but if so I've never seen it make its way to the top of the list. So how many people on here own their TL's outright? How many still owe? If you're comfortable with sharing the situation, what you originally put down when you bought it, or how long it took you to pay off, etc.

I personally bought my 2004 TL a month ago, I bought it outright for $11,800, its an Abyss Blue Pearl with 74k miles, Auto transmission, no nav.

DRFTN

financing, bought 3 weeks ago... many bi-weekly payments to go lol. 5 years but planning to pay it off in 4 or less as I do crazy OT in winter. main reason i'm financing is to build my credit back up as I kinda fucked it up as a young one.

mn2trance

Paid cash for my '07 TL-S last year. Prior to that, got my '05 TL in '05 and paid that off in '10.

CBP_TypeS

Bought my 07 TL-S about 10 days ago -- trade + cash = paid for Haven't had a car payment in 3 years and don't want to start now.

raidertrh

Bought my 2006 last Fall and paid cash

LaCostaRacer

Bought new in July 2006 and paid off in 2008 after CD rates dropped below the 2.9% loan rate I had with HFC on the car loan. Making $400 payments to myself now for that next car someday- it builds up pretty quick with smart investments. Next car will probably be a cash deal because loan rates probably won't be this low in 3 years.

Interesting and refreshing to see that a lot of folks paid cash. Same thing here. Paid in full the day I got it. This is the first car I've ever paid for upfront and the freedom from monthly payments from day one is very nice.
