Frequently Asked Questions
Should I put more money down on a car?
A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and interest costs. Aim for at least 20% down to avoid being upside-down on the loan.
How does trade-in value affect my loan?
Your trade-in value is subtracted from the car price before financing, reducing the amount you need to borrow. More trade-in value means a lower monthly payment.

Rates vary by credit score. Excellent credit (720+) can get 4-6% for new cars. Used car rates are typically 1-2% higher. Rates in 2025-2026 have been elevated compared to earlier years.
