Finance Terms in Punta Gorda, FL

Usual Vehicle Finance Terms
What may be “normal” will vary for each buyer, but lenders propose that 36-72 month car loan terms is best. That means you will have three to six years to pay off your car, including interest, to the lender. Your credit score and down payment will determine your interest rate and loan terms.
Are you curious about what your interest rate will be? Peek at your financing term. A 72-month loan term will have a lower monthly payment, but the interest rate will be higher, so you’ll end up paying more over time. Most finance companies promote a shorter loan term since there will be less risk for being "upside down" on your loan, retaining more value in a new car and less interest will be paid long term.
