Understanding Your Loan Terms
We take the guesswork out of financing by breaking down the components of your car loan:
- Interest Rate: Determined by your credit history, loan term, and lender requirements.
- Loan Term: Usually ranging from 36 to 84 months-shorter terms typically offer lower total interest, while longer terms offer lower monthly payments.
- Down Payment: You decide how much you want to put down; higher down payments can reduce monthly costs.
- Trade-In Value: If applicable, your current vehicle can significantly lower your financed amount.
These factors work together to shape your monthly payment, projected ownership cost, and overall financial strategy.
Tools and Resources That Make Financing Easier
College Chevrolet offers digital tools to help you plan ahead:
- Payment Calculator: Estimate monthly costs based on price, down payment, and interest rate.
- Trade-In Estimator: Receive an approximate value for your current vehicle before visiting the dealership.
