Isn't the last payment so satisfying? Paid off my last car early, and said I didn't want a car payment again. Just bought a Ford Escape this week, so here come the payments again! Wouldn't have done it, but needed the four-wheel drive to get up our steep gravel drive in the winter. Got kinda tired of having to park at the bottom and walk up a quarter mile, carrying groceries, etc.
Probably won't drive it too much (unless I'm hauling stuff), in favor of vehicle with better gas mileage.
