Paid off my R53 today!

I'm so damn happy to be able to say that I own my MCS outright. I've never had a car loan before (never had a car worth borrowing for ), so paying this off was big for me.

Knowing she's mine all mine is a great feeling, and what's more, this means the modding can begin.

Here's a recent (iPhone) shot of Ruffian by the Intracoastal:

Congratulations! I'm looking into boosting my car payments so I can pay the note off faster. Looking forward to owning outright so I can buy another toy!

Thanx for the congrats all, I appreciate it

@haseo461x technically you can see the first mod: the window tint LOL.

Next up will be a CAI & 15% pulley. Can't wait for some go-fast parts, but in the meantime I'm just loving the whole "mine at last" feeling

Congrats

Hey that is great news. In my opinion they drive better when the bank ain't holding the note

Enjoy your mods!!

Now, do yourself a favor and keep banking that car payment, so when the time comes you won't need a loan for the next car. You can just hand over the cash.......

Excellent choice in color, model and year!!

Aye, and mine is paid off as well. Gonna continue to put money away for the eventual bushing replacement, supercharger rebuild and whatever else I wear out on the MINI.
