Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
My situation is this; I have a little less than $4500 left on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. I make $260 monthly payments which I have no problem doing. However I will be moving 30 minutes away for school and would like something with better gas mileage. The Chevrolet has been very reliable thus far and I've only done one major repair($600 for the fuel pump) on it. I have $5000 in my savings so I could just as easily pay it off but I feel safer having that as a cushion. The blue book on the truck is around $6000-$7000. I've broken down my options into three things;

(a) Pay off the truck and buy something with better gas mileage.
(b) Drive that thing until it breaks down.
(c) Keep making payments on the truck and buy something for around 2-3k. Just leave the truck sitting in my driveway at home and sell it when its payed off.

I have a biweekly income of around $1500.
