So I've been a bigger R-tard than usual (financial guys step in)

Looks nice, its my favorite color combo

Thanks for the kind words.

@ubengineering you know I’m just playin’. I was a young punk on this forum, too. Great car. Must have been a great feeling picking it up. Congrats.

My ankle was killing me on the 6 hour drive home, these cars do not have cruise control, well not that year anyways. But thanks!

It was actually a car i planned to buy one day too, gen 2 gts’s are the best looking imo.

Viper’s are not as expensive as most people think, though they are actually appreciating. I paid 37 for mine, was offered 45 4 months later. But I don’t ever plan on selling this car.

Love that place :tup: Digging the car even more, and I’m a huge fan of that color combo to. Bring it out to a cars n coffee this year!

Will do! Thanks guys.

As far as the loan stuff goes, I’m just going to adjust my monthly payment to 700 a month to help kill some of the interest, no extra payments.

Sound like you bought at a good time, I’ve been watching for about the past year and prices keep going in the wrong direction. I want a B&W 2nd gen really bad, but would settle for red too. Maybe next spring if I can avoid temptations of c6’s in the meantime.

Any term based account like a loan will typically take any extra and apply it to the interest since the bank wants their money unlike credit cards where your $100 payment may be $30 goes to interest and $70 goes to the balance and anything above it goes to the balance. My bank had a box you had to check so if your payment was $200 and you payed $400, by default you wouldn’t have a payment next month but if you apply it to the principal, you would still pay each month. Screws a lot of people I am sure since they just are paying their interest in advance essentially and banks love it.

no way, pay it off as soon as possible. If the bank isn’t playing nicely then save the extra and pay it off in one lump sum.

?

By paying extra monthly and not doing so in smaller chunks multiple times a mo. he is in essence paying it off quicker while not getting hit with additional interest payments, thus the point of this thread…

Oh, I get it, sorry.
