How loan term changes cost

A longer term spreads the principal over more payments and usually lowers the monthly amount, but interest has more time to accrue.

Common questions

Is $50,000 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.
