Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does my trade-in value affect the loan? Your trade-in value reduces the overall loan amount you need to finance, which in turn lowers your monthly payment.
Can I add my trade-in value to the down payment? No, the trade-in value is subtracted from the car price, not added to your down payment.
What is the typical loan term for car loans? Most car loans have terms ranging from 36 to 72 months, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
