Who REALLY owns their Z???
 

I had an interesting conversation recently with one of our fellow members regarding how much we each were paying per month for our Z. That led me to wonder how many of us were financing or have paid for it outright. For fun, let's take a little survey and see who REALLY owns their Z. So reply if you want! It might be an interesting result. :stirthepot:

Extrapolate for age. I'm 56 and paid for mine in cash. :tup:

My Z is paid for in full, no payments here!

Must be nice Daddy Warbucks LOL... I will own mine in a few years.

Paid in full here.

It seems a pretty large number of owners paid cash for their Z's, based on similar threads in the past.

Mine was purchased outright.

I paid more than half in cash and took a loan out for the rest. Don't have any debts, both kids out of college, so I figgered that I 'll pay it off before the year ends. Only owe <6k. After 4 yaers of college, 4 years evil medical school, 3 years of evil residency and 25 years in practice, I got my Z.:stirthepot:

Paid in full.

:tup:

Cash on the barrel-head. 100% paid on delivery.

Why no poll?

almost paid off
 

27000.00 plus tax base MT 5000.00 down new. 3.9% 60 months but will pay it off in the firs year.

I paid for mine IN FULL.......cash.......when I picked it up.

$30,000 base MT
- 4,000
= $26,000 financed :/

I financed about 22k. If my new job turns out nice, I'll probably pay it off in the next year or so.

Hai!

same boat with you my friend. Im not upside down on the loan though, so im good. =]

Financing 25k, I make larger payments every few months to get it paid off quicker.

I wrote a check for mine -- in full. Oh yeah, I am 27, I mean, 50 years old.

financed after 15k down, but already paid off :tup:

No payments ...cash baby!!!!

Aa sou desu ka ....

Paid cash for mine

No financing here, but considered paying with a Home Equity check.

The Z's previously owned and I had a trade-in however. $18,800 plus change including tax, title and license.

Rawr

paid off

I financed 90% of my car because I want to have something absurd on my credit record so that when I buy a house I won't get the shaft. Previously, I had a $750 limit credit-card, 2 $1000 loans, and a $2500 LOC.

If it saves me just 1/4 a percent on the house, it will have paid for itself and then some.

Smart move. :tiphat:

Paid in cash. Finance guy was being a jerk on the APR so I just said cash then. His eyes bugged a little then made the off handed remark of "It must be nice".

Paid cash for mine. Wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
Interesting question is how many of those who financed are upside down.

I'm sure a lot. These cars didn't hold their value nearly as well as you'd expect

Owned since day one, can't really justify having a payment on a toy.

Paid in cash money.

damn look at all these ballers.

True That. I put down 10k. But thats only cause I sold a car.

Paid in full. First time in years without some sort of car payment. Feels good.

I'm wondering what are you doing at HCC, you don't go there do you ?

That might be true, but I paid for half of it myself by selling my last car which I owned and running a successful detailing business back in CT. I knew I would get flamed. And it is nice, but I appreciate my property and take care of my car better than most as I have a lot of respect for working for what you have.

Cash+Trade, but mine was a year old :)

OTOH, I tend to keep cars a long time so a loan doesn't bother me either...

Put $10 K down and financed the rest as I like flexibility with my money. I have some much higher returns with my liquid assets than my very low interest rate.. No need to tie them up in the car.

Hai!
