So it will be paid off by the end of the year.
Thinking to just pay it off to get it over with, but at 2.5% it is almost free money.
Quick math says the interest is *only* $20 per month.
But $10k in the bank isn't making $20 per month!
I really wouldn't miss the $10k and do not need to buy anything else with it.
So what do you smart fellers think?
Only banks make money on loans. With the current market, I would pay it off

This is my personal opinion and not the opinion of my firm. (Yes I have to use that disclaimer)
