Finance:
Buy The Vehicle Over Time
Considerations for obtaining a loan:
- Vehicle is titled in your name and you own it at the end of contract
- You can sell or trade at any time
- Payments may be higher than leasing
- No limits on mileage, but vehicle value may decline with high mileage
- You choose what to repair and when
- You can change vehicle’s appearance
Lease: Drive The Vehicle For A Period Of Time Then Return It.
Considerations for obtaining a lease:
- Monthly payments often lower than a loan, you pay only for what you use
- Mileage limits apply
- Less likely to need repairs because you drive the vehicle during warranty period
- At end of term, you can get a new vehicle, purchase the vehicle, or turn it in and walk away
- You are charged for excess wear and tear
Pay Cash: Buy The Vehicle Outright.

What Can I Afford?
The total cost of the vehicle.
A down payment is an initial, upfront payment you make toward the total cost of the vehicle. Your down payment could be cash, the value of a trade-in, or both. The more you put down, the less you need to borrow. A larger down payment may also reduce your monthly payment and your total cost of financing.
The trade in value is the amount that a dealer is willing to offer you towards the purchase of a new vehicle in exchange for your current one. It’s typically based on the market value of your vehicle (the amount it would sell for on the open market).
Your payoff amount is how much you will actually have to pay to satisfy the terms of your mortgage loan and completely pay off your debt. Your payoff amount is different from your current balance.
Additional down payment in cash.
This is the length of your auto loan, generally expressed in months. A shorter loan term (in which you make monthly payments for fewer months) will reduce your total loan cost. A longer loan can reduce your monthly payment, but you pay more interest over the life of the loan. A longer loan also puts you at risk for negative equity, which is when you owe more on the vehicle than the vehicle is worth.
This is the annual percentage rate, and is not always the same as the interest rate. This represents the annual rate that is charged, and as such, is the actual annual cost to the consumer over the course of the auto loan. The APR will allow you to more easily shop and compare car loans, since it equates all loans to the same annual rate.
