Car Buying Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about buying, financing, trading in, and owning a vehicle

How much car can I afford?

Your car payment should fit comfortably within your monthly budget while leaving room for savings, bills, and daily expenses.

Should I buy a new or used car?

New cars offer full warranties and the latest features. Used cars typically offer lower payments and better overall value due to depreciation.

What credit score do I need to buy a car?

Lenders work with a wide range of credit scores. Higher credit scores usually qualify for lower interest rates and better loan terms.

How much should I put down on a vehicle?

A larger down payment lowers your monthly payment and reduces the total interest paid over the loan term.

What factors affect my monthly car payment?

Price of the vehicle, interest rate, loan term, taxes, fees, and down payment all impact your monthly payment.

Can I trade in a car I still owe money on?

Yes. If you owe more than the car is worth, the difference can often be rolled into your next loan.

What is the difference between financing and leasing?

Financing leads to ownership of the vehicle. Leasing is like renting with mileage limits and return requirements.

How long should my auto loan be?

Common loan terms range from 36 to 84 months. Shorter terms cost less in interest but have higher monthly payments.
