Getting cheap monthly rates on your
car loan
can help you budget more efficiently, as well as provide some extra cash for savings—or fun!
To get a loan with low payments, start by shopping around. Every lender charges a different interest rate, so the more diligent you are, the better chance you have to save on interest costs and lower your monthly payment.
Another way to lower your monthly payments is to make a sizable down payment. This will reduce the amount of money you need to borrow, which in turn leads to lower monthly car loan bills.
A final way to keep your monthly payment low is to extend your loan length. The longer you extend the loan, the lower your payments will be. However, this comes with a downside—you’ll pay more in interest over the life of the loan.
Regardless of which option you choose, remember that you still need to budget for
