Are you making payments?

This really is a random thread but are you making payments on your Ranger? Or did you pay cash?

Just wondering because personally if I was making payments on my Ranger I would be disappointed as I don't like the ride and truck compared to other trucks. (don't ask me why I just feel that way)

I love my truck, hate the way it rides. But it's what I wanted, so I'm not complaining, yet.

I will find out exactly how much my payment will be tomorrow, when I sign the loan papers on my 05. I'm guessing anywhere from $270-300 a month. I have a pretty low interest rate at 5.5%. My first truck with monthly payments. My good friend Jake (Lord of War), made the last payment on his 02 Ranger this month...and i'm starting my first. Kinda funny.

My Bronco has been paid off for years. I bought that from my old man with 7k cash.

0% for 6 years on financing, inc extended warranty, maintenance and options? Why would I drop nearly $30k cash on a truck when they'll carry it for me for free basically. Got 5 years left of $500/mo payments, guess I really didn't need quite every option I could get besides chrome.... LR

$378.88 a month for 60 months at 1%. have 29 months left, but i'll be pissed if i make it to 28. to answer your question about how happy i am, I'm not haha, it's just not the vehicle for me. my next payment is april 21st so i'm hoping it'll be gone by april 14th. then I'm buying a $500 beater that i hope will last me a year or two, then I can buy a nice f150 fx4 (step side) or 4door jeep JK for cash. :)

i have a question when for when you refinance, how does that work? im new to this kind of thing. When i frst got my job, i had a few things causing my interest rate to go up. First, i just had got a new job, so that didnt help. Credit score wasn't great, and i didnt pay a whole lot down ($1500). I had a co-signer. I'd like to refinace now that my credit score has gone up (about 70 points). I'd like to refinance to get my payment payment lower possibly. But im more concerned about getting my interest rate lower and getting my co-signers name off of the truck.

So how does it work? Ive been paying on the truck for a year and a half now never missed a payment. What happens when you refinance, you basically extend your payments another year. Is it pretty much like getting a new loan on the truck? someone please explain

Mine's $111 bi-weekly. I put a good sized down payment on it though. But my mods have already surpassed what I've paid in payments... lol
