The interest rate is the cost of borrowing money. It is expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. The interest rate will vary depending on the lender, the type of loan, and the borrower's credit score.

Q: What is the term of the loan?

The term of the loan is the length of time that it takes to repay the loan. The term will affect the monthly payments.

Q: What are the fees?

There may be fees associated with financing a vehicle, such as origination fees, prepayment penalties, and late payment fees. It is important to understand all of the fees associated with a loan before you sign the paperwork.

Q: What are my options if I have bad credit?

There are lenders who specialize in financing vehicles for people with bad credit. However, the interest rates on these loans maybe be higher than for people with good credit.

Q: What are my options if I don't have a down payment?

Some lenders offer loans with no down payment. However, the interest rates on these loans will be higher than for loans with a down payment.

Q: What are my options if I want to trade in my current vehicle?

You may be able to trade in your current vehicle to help offset the cost of a new vehicle. The amount of trade-in value will depend on the make, model, year, and condition of your current vehicle.

Q: What are my options if I want to lease a vehicle?

Leasing a vehicle is an alternative to financing a vehicle. With a lease, you will make monthly payments for a set period of time. At the end of the lease term, you will have the option to purchase the vehicle, lease another vehicle, or return the vehicle to the leasing company.  Check out our Buying vs. Leasing page for more information.
