All good things must end - in this case it's been using Ford's 0% down / 0% APR loan money for 3 years (I earned ~$5000 with that money!) ...

Ford F-150 It's all mine (payoff!) PAYOFF


Still loving my truck, there's 7 years remaining on the 125k miles PremiumCare ESP paid for with some of that 0% money, with any luck I'll never need that, no worries!

(y) :D

Congrats, even as a cash buyer I was bitter that they excluded the super exclusive :sarcasm: Tremor from the 0% offers. With interest, would have pulled the actual cost of my loaded 402A into the upper 50s.

Congrats!!!

For my 2021 that I got 0% for 60 months, I still have 21 months remaining. I want to pay if off so bad, but with Fidelity paying 4% currently, just gonna let the loan bleed until dry.

The 0 down / 0% APR was no bull, simply the Ford financing available when I ordered, so under price protection also available when I took delivery, even though that rate was gone on my delivery date.

I could have paid cash on delivery, but was happy to take the Ford free money and earn an additional ~$5k on the declining balance - I look at that as an additional ~10% off my already low 3% below invoice Granger sales price. (y) :D

Woot, I'd have jumped on that, too! Hang in there and watch that money grow!

Yeah, bought a 25 explorer six months ago and since rates were trash, just wrote the check. Funny the brand new car is paid for but the three year old truck has payments. Haha!

They aren't bull, and you missed earning interest on the money you wouldn't have used if you had taken advantage of 0% APR.

Take a $70K truck cost. If you had that in a high-yield savings account at just 4% to 5% over the past or 5 years, you would have earned close to $14,000 in interest.

Congratulations! That must be a great feeling! I paid cash on the spot for my 2021 XLT so I had no payments. They said they never had to count 52k by hand ?
