congrats, I was able to pay off mine just two months before the 2yr mark. It is a great feeling specially receiving the pink slip afterwards... and like you since i paid it off I'm thinking about getting a new car. Time will tell for now I'm enjoying the no monthly payments.

Yup...I am on the two year plan too (well my loan isn't for 2 years)

Congrats to no more car payments for a while.

Congrats. I was actually looking at a prius last week, but was turned off by the 7k markup they're asking.

Why buy a Prius?? You paid off your car and now you have some extra money. Time to really enjoy the car. Or save the extra mony you were spending on your payment and save that amount to buy a Prius in the future. With cash on hand..no interest....And I give props for being 25 and paying off your car.
