My credit union is awesome. Rates were 3.25% for 7 years when I was supposed to get my Rubicon, now they are 3.85%. My credit union called me back and said they don't think that it is fair that I pay so much more for Jeeps delays and gave me 3.49%. I don't mind paying 7 years, because I never get rid of vehicles, i just add to the stable. Unless i kill it, like I unfortunately crashed my Mercedes before Thanksgiving. Only $600 a month and she will be MINE MINE MINE, when she gets here.

I feel you guys are crazy with these car payments, I don’t allow myself to buy the car till I saved enough to pay cash for it, am I the abnormal one?

I grew up in a super “Yankee” family that paid cash for cars and never went into debt. Now, however, I think a little differently after pursuing finance/economics related career. IMO you should not be borrowing money because you can’t afford it — you should only do it as a means to let your money work harder in other investments. However I also “like” the feeling of having ownership so see it both ways.

@JTopsUSA you have anything to do with Jeetops?
We make shade tops and other soft accessories for Wranglers...

Check out our forum in the Vendor section. I do not want anyone to think I am trying to pitch in a non-vendor forum! :like:

When all the other all blues went KZ I was hoping I would to, but still stuck in JB 5 Days in counting. My original order is still stuck in JB and it will be 2 weeks this coming Monday. Hopefully my all blue can escape quickly!

I feel you. But at my pay $600 isn't much at all. Everything is relative depending on each person's finances and employment. I used to do everything cash too, until I started buying houses. I work with people that have higher auto payments than house payments, too me that is crazy.

Those terms are a bit crazy for me but financing is a helluva lot better than paying cash. Take that cash and invest it. You’ll make make more than enough to cover the interest of the loan and you’ll have more liquidity.

Yes I’m sorry. Buffalo is only about 3-3 1/2 hours away tho so maybe that’s why
Probably so. I’m not mad. I ordered mine much later. Hopefully we both have a smooth delivery.

Bye red... hello blue! Btw.... the color. When you see a picture of a heart its like a heart, but when you see an actual human heart in person, for real, its like a vivid real thing. There's no comparing the picture to the real thing. That's what this blue is. Pictures look good, but in person OMG. ITS BLUE, ITS METALLIC, ITS ALMOST IRIDESCENT PURPLE BLUE. In one spot its this craxy metaliic true blue, an inch away in a lil shade it changes seamlessly to a purple hued blue. Guys, we are the smartest jeepers EVER bc this is one of a kind. Right now I'd swear its purple bc the sun is setting. Im in love. Forget my guy, this jeep just stole my heart!
