How it works
Loan = (Price × (1+tax)) − Down − Trade; M = P·r / (1 − (1+r)⁻ⁿ)
We add sales tax to the vehicle price, subtract cash down and any trade-in, then amortize the balance over your term.
Frequently asked
Should I finance longer to lower payments?
Longer terms lower the monthly payment but you pay more interest and risk being underwater. 48–60 months is a common sweet spot.
Is a bigger down payment worth it?
Yes — it lowers total interest and reduces the chance of negative equity if the car depreciates faster than you pay it down.
