markovwgti 0 #1 April 10, 2009 The Rv im buying is in NC and is 60k, Im putting down 14k. Now the interest rate im getting from most people is 7%. So i will be paying 495.00 for 144 months, So in the end i will be paying $71,000. Now what if me and my gf plan on paying about 2k a month for the RV, we will pay it off in 2 years or so, can we avoid paying all the interest on the Rv? I heard from a friend that you can write a check for an extra 1500 and ask to put it towards the principal balance! Please help me with this...its very frustrating!!

Most loans (at least those through normal banks/credit unions) don't have any pre-payment penalty. I paid off my last 2 cars and my house well ahead of schedule and saved a bunch of money on interest I didn't have to pay. I just made sure I specified "extra towards principal" and sent one check. But check with whoever it is that the loan is coming from."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
