Loans AdvanceLonger loan term reduces your monthly payment, but you'll pay more overall for credit, a trade-off you may be happy to make. And, even with a longer loan, you always have the option of paying more any month you're able to. Just be sure you'll pay no prepayment penalty (dealers may impose this penalty; credit unions seldom do). And ask about the "rule of 78s." Lenders calculating loans this way make you pay more interest in the opening months of a loan, so if you pay off the loan later in the term but before maturity, you won't get much of a break on the financing expense. Annual percentage rate - The annual percentage rate, or APR, is a rate of interest, calculated yearly, that includes all the fees and charges associated with a loan. It is always tied in with a loan term. It might be, for example, 1.8 percent for 36 months, or 2.8 percent for 48 months. A lender will calculate monthly payments that reflect the APR over the term of the loan, and may include taxes, registration and closing costs, as well as destination charges if financed by a dealer. Since dealerships and other lenders charge different fees and expenses when they finance a car, the APR is the best way to compare one financing offer to another. Free Quotes
Dealers have all kinds of tricks designed to get you to pay more. You can’t avoid sales tax, destination charges and licensing, but you may be able to dispute advertising fees or other administrative charges. They may also try to slip in treatments such as rust-proofing, stain-proofing the seats, or etching the vehicle’s ID number into the window to deter thieves. Most are unnecessary, and if you really want them, you can often arrange to have them done cheaper on your own. Compare low interest rate and rebate. How much should you put down?
