Is an 84-month loan on a Corolla a good idea?
"I was looking at getting an 84-month loan for a new Toyota Corolla. The low payments are what sold me, but it's a long time to pay a loan.
Is an 84-month loan a good idea?"

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“In general, 84-month loans are never a good idea. You’ll be
upside-down
for almost the entirety of the loan. If something goes wrong with the car, you still have to make payments on a pile of scrap metal.Instead of getting a more expensive car on an 84-month loan, buy a cheaper vehicle for 48 months or 60 months. This will keep you from getting in over your head while still building credit.”
