Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good auto loan term?

Shorter terms (36-48 months) mean higher monthly payments but far less total interest. Avoid terms over 60 months when possible — long loans risk owing more than the car is worth.

How much down payment do I need for a car?

A common recommendation is 20% down on a new car and 10% on a used car. A larger down payment lowers your monthly payment and total interest.
