Paid off the Yaris :D

[Kal-El]

I still have over 3 years left on mine.

And I have 110,000 miles on it.

Not worried about it though knowing how unbelievably reliable the car is.
Nothing ever breaks on it. At my pace, I'll have around 190,000 miles on it when it finally gets paid off. Considering we have seen these go 450,000 miles with few issues, I'm not concerned.

If this was a German car or a Chrysler product, I'd be screwed.

I completely agree with you on if it was a GM or Chrysler product and things going terribly horribly wrong.

That GOD I bought gap insurance on my 08 Yaris. I put 20K+ miles on my car every year (it's my daily commuter) and if I wrecked it with 1 year left to go and the insurance company gives me 1/2 of what I owe on it I would be screwed. Glad I got the gap when I bought it... also glad I bought at the bottom of the market when it comes to car's (cost wise).

Did you know that a new car (on average) will have lost 60% of its value in 4 years? Scary..... Buy used, buy cheap, and buy foreign :)

Way to go. I would bank what your payments were or invest it in stocks. When the "wheels fall off the Yaris" pay cash for your next car. I only made one payment on my Yaris.

This is best if you can. The only mistake I made was not trading in my old car, but then I did eventually get $6k more then the dealer offered.

Oh, as for mods, the NST pulley set is awesome, and a lightweight flywheel would be nice too.

Congrats on paying it off.
