financed it to begin with. then paid it off to get rid of one more monthly bill. kept our suburban financed though. that loan was set up back in 2004 and its rate is 3.33%. we can make more than that on the money. the vett was at 5.49% didnt seem worth the hassle.

A bit of cash and some of the banks money. Somewhere around 4.5% on the loan.

I paid off my truck and my quad before I bought my Vette. Plus I put $12,000 down on the Vette, so the payment isn't bad.

Now, my wife's new car payment is another story!!
