Common questions
Is $40,000 always the amount financed?
No. Taxes and fees can raise it, while a down payment and positive trade equity can reduce it.
Does a longer loan make the car cheaper?
It can reduce the monthly payment but usually increases total interest when APR and principal stay the same.
