Congrats Don. Yes, it is a "Big Deal` when someone pays off a vehicle and you are now the debt-free owner.
I do not have to tell anyone here in this forum about the shortage of new vehicles, regardless of the make, model, and type and its ripple effect on purchase prices and used vehicle prices. Some of you in this forum have told how your "slightly pre-owned" vehicle is actually worth more that what you paid for it. Let`s hope that this electronic micro-chip shortage will alleviate itself and that new vehicles will become more available soon.
I like to "kick tires" and look at new and used car lots. It`s very sad to see the few vehicles available and car lots that are reminiscent of GM dealers going out of business not that long ago. The "no-haggle" price on used cars and dealer "value added maintenance fees" mark-up on new cars is not conducive to a buyers market. As many new or used vehicle buyers have found that if you do not buy the vehicle you like or need at the asking price because you feel it is too high, someone else will pay it and buy the vehicle from under you.
Which is good for repair shop mechanics and detailers as vehicle owners hold on to their current ride.
