Frequently asked questions

Is a longer car loan a good idea?

A longer term lowers the monthly payment but adds interest, and you may owe more than the car is worth for longer. The calculator shows what a 48-month loan would save.

How does a trade-in affect sales tax?

In most states you pay sales tax only on the price minus your trade-in. Untick the option if your state taxes the full price.

What if I owe more than my trade-in is worth?

That difference, called negative equity, is added to your new loan.
