FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does loan term affect total cost?
Longer terms lower the monthly payment but increase total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Does a bigger down payment always help?
Yes — it reduces the amount financed, which lowers both your payment and total interest, and can help you avoid being underwater on the loan.
What credit score gets the best auto rates?
Generally scores in the high 700s and above qualify for the most competitive advertised rates.
