1LT poverty package and 2008 economic crash for the mega discount win! This made the car so much more attainable- and the first year of the LS3 and a bunch of other mid-cycle refresh items.

I had it paid off in 6 or 7 months, I just had to jump on the deal when it came available and just had to shuffle a little money back and forth. The experience with the car would probably have been different than if I had a large note for a long term.

The car is 5 years old now, but look how new the steering wheel leather used to be!

100% down in Nov '07 and no monthly payments since. Even if I gave it away today, every dime I've ever spent for fuel, ins, license, mods, maintenance, and the original purchase price would have cost less than $1 per mile. It's a really small investment for the amount of joy it has brought to my wife and I.

Bought and paid for. :thumbs:

Pretty nice to tell the salesman you'll stroke a check for it and no need to see the finance guy.

I have owned 25 vettes and the last one I had a loan on was when I was a senior in college and I borrowed $2,000 to purchase a brand new 1968 convert in the fall of 1967.

I have a corvette account that I use to purchase the next have to have vette and when I sell one of them the money goes back in that corvette account.

Paid cash for everyone since that new 1968 including this one:

May of 2013--Paid for when we drove it out of the Dealer!

Paid Cash
 

Cash money. No loan. I hate loans. All my cars, my homes, my business, all paid for. I know it's irrational, but there it is.

As long as you have perpetual income to go along with it....no problem.

Unfortunately, I'm not so lucky.....:lol:
