I just got confirmation today that my loan for my 2001 BMW X5 has been paid off. As annoyed as I was by the used car dealer who bought it before the deal, they sent the check out almost immediately, clearly, because BMW cleared the payment and declared it paid-in-full today.

This has been one of those nagging things. The car had lots of problems, making it a tricky sale for anything near what I owed on it, I was too busy to properly take care of such a sale, and I didn't want to put the money into fixing it up just so I could get it sold more easily. Stupidly, that's been going on for over a year, to the tune of around $850/month between payments and insurance.
