Default How many C5's are paid off this year?

How many C5's are paid off this year? And what are you going to do with the extra $$. My car will be paid off this Oct! I am so happy about that through the years i have considered selling her numerous times. Glad i Did not. With the Extra cash I think I am going to get new tires and build on my savings. What's your plans?

Mine should be paid off next winter. Currently, I'm driving a 97 Saturn as my DD so my plan is to get a nice Black Cadillac CTS to replace it.

Mine will be paid off in two or three months. Thats a little less than two years early. I plan to use the money to pay for a mortgage rather than rent. We shall see...

Similar situation for me. Purchased the car last May, plan to pay it off when I get her out of storage in April (2 years early). I have a mortgage though, and I have no plans to pay that one off anytime soon (5 years into a 30-year)!

Paid cash for my 2002 Z06 in December. No plans to pay off the mortgage as that was done 25 years ago. I do have a 20 year old daughter in college.

Last year was the year for me. Paid off both the C4 and C5, now have title in hand for both of them. Trying to talk the wife into letting me get a C6 Z06.

Just paid mine off 1st week in January 2010 and the feeling is HUGE!! As far as the extra money is concerned, Im going to pay off other bills and keep the Z maintained. I am certainly not of the same attitiude as years ago of paying the vette off and standing in the dealership making a deal on a new one. I DONT THINK SO!! you dont need a new Corvette to be a part of this experience. ANY vette pays the admission price!!: flag:

Well supposed to be paid off this June, but I got laid off, so the bank gave me a 90 grace period, started paying again last month, so hopefully I'll have it paid off by Sept.

A couple of years left for me.
I refinanced mine last year in order to get a shorter term and lower interest rate. Didn't raise the payment much but It'll be payed off at least a year early.
