I got into trouble while I was in college with credit cards... It took about 4-5 years to get that monkey off my back and I had no auto note (1979 3/4-ton and gas was less than $1.50/gal). Three years ago I bought a used, 2001 K1500 with low miles, loaded to the gills with options (nice truck) and got it for about $5K less than KBB (Brother-In-Law was in a bind and he wanted payoff). In August it wlll be paid off 2 years early. I have made several principal payments along with the note. If you have a couple grand in the checking account after bills every few months, make a principal payment and get rid of the loan, intrest is lost money.
We also bought a 2008 Mini Cooper S this year. One of the reasons we bought it is the 5-star resale value. The loan officer at BMW motor credit said that they hate to see a Mini come in on trade for a Mini. A 2-3 year old Mini has about $2-3K less value than an equal new one. So on a $30K car in 2-3 years we can TRADE-IN, not private party sale the car for a new one and only have a $2K-$3K difference. There are 2004 Mini's on EBAY for more than a new one...

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
