Yes you could do that, you will up you credit rating by paying it off early aswell

doesnt make any difference if you pay it off early, you're credit rating is actually improved if you have credit outstanding and pay monthly payments on time, paying it off early may even damage your credit rating cos when a company does a credit search on your name if they see a loan repaid early, it means you've paid reduced interest, companies have to incur costs to set up loan accounts and if you pay off early sometimes they wont recoup these costs.

however most now have early settlement fees which is something to also look out for, and watch for people who front load the interest at the beginning of the term, cos in this cases there would be no benefit to repaying early

Well I took out a loan, paid it off early and the bank dude says this was good cause the next time they will offer me a much bigger loan etc - to which I laughed and asked if he thought I was daft, APR rates at banks suck this was the reason I was paying it early

mileage was about 71k i think.,....when they rang up to make an offer they asked me if i had FSH with it, I said yes but really had no history at all, they never checked and could have influenced them slightly
