its cool looking at the title, with 38mi to spare on my warranty

time to decide what the next ride will be as this is now my toy....me thinks a used Mazda3 might be a good choice while I wait for the next RX to come out...

 

thats it?

 

did you get a 3 year loan or did you just pay extra principals every month?

i wish i have the spare cash to pay off my 8 that quickly

 

So you just paid it off and want to take on a new loan? I'm confused.

 

Congratulations Brillo.

Large down payment helps too.

 

You do know that most (if not all) 2004 RX8's had their powertrain warranties extended to 60,000 mi, don't you? Seems to me like you have 10,038 miles left on your warranty.

 

yeah seriously, if there's no problem with your car why get another?

 

With your extra money now, you can help pay mine the rest of the way off if you want!

 

My 2007 is already paid off.

One reason is that I waited a long time after I paid off my previous car.

 

Can you pay for my car now ?

 

whats a rx t?

 

congrats brillo.


the 3 is a cool ride. were you thinking hatch or 4 door?

 

Sell it the day it runs out of warranty....

 

I want a daily driver, not getting rid of the 8, but to really have some fun with the car it helps to have a daily so I can work on the car at my own pace and not worry about having to get to work on Monday.

3 year loan and large down payment helps

 

no need. just use some of the $$$ now freed up to buy a spare engine or two.

 

Yoy beet the 50k mark.

Yee Haw!

 

Sorry for being an *** and a killjoy but
Money 101 ........ Don't borrow money to buy a depreciating asset !!!!

 

Having paid of his car so quickly, he'll now have a lot of $$$ spare...!

 

Then you wouldn't be an American.. Maybe an Aussie?

 

isn't the whole point of an RX-8 is that it's a 'trackable daily driver'

kinda defeating the purpose of the car by making it a 100% 'fun toy'

 

Good fror you! I hope to be there soon. Now ride it til the wheels fall off and put that money to good use.

 

As a VP at a bank (and I don't mean a small branch location), Brillo knows Money 101 in his sleep. He's way past that point. He teaches Money 101 when he gets bored and finds watching paint dry to be too much effort and needs something easier to do.

 

Be interested to know why he borrowed money to buy a low priced sports car then .....

 

Probably the same reason 99% of us did. No $30K in savings to throw down on a car. He probably had a pretty decent interest rate too, and over just 3 yrs. that's not throwing (much) money away, especially if he invested some to balance out interest payments. For all we know he put money down on a house or something instead of using it to buy his 8 straight up, which would equal a pretty wise move in my humble opinion.

 

lets start a pay my car off club!
