Wow, that's a pretty steep payment, but getting it paid off in two years is sweet, especially at 0% interest. You also got a good price on the car if my math is correct.
I have my '99.5 Jetta at 4.75% through my CU. I got such a good deal on the car that I took one of our high interest credit cards and rolled the balance into the loan for the car and am now paying that balance too. It is still a sweet deal as I owe about $3k less than the car is worth, even with combining the CC balance.
Our Navigator loan is at 3.75% through the same CU, but I took it out for a longer duration because of a special deal they had (1 full year of interest waved if you qualified...) at the time we did the loan. Unfortunately, the same reasons that are making the Jetta worth more have killed the value of the 'Gator and I won't be rolling any bills into that loan. Our loan is now at the exact value of the 'Gator. I won't be trading that one in for a long while yet. Good thing it has been mechanically just about perfect...I hope it stays that way for at least 4 more years...
Congrats on paying off the VW, it is always a nice feeling having your vehicle paid off. It is an even better feeling having that extra cash in your pocket each month. (Now, which mod should I buy first?)
YMMV
