Auto Loan Tips
May 19, 2012 - 2:59
When you are approved for a car loan the lender typically will set the maximum monthly payment for which the loan is approved. Generally, the maximum payment is either 12% to 18% of your gross monthly income or 45% of you income less your monthly obligations.
When calculating how much you can afford you should always include the cost of gasoline, automobile insurance, and maintaining your used car. Major repair costs can throw any ones budget way off track, to lessen the likelihood that this will happen consider adding on a vehicle service contract to you finance package. This will increase your monthly payment, but ensure major repairs, if needed, are affordable.
If you have a low credit score the interest rate you will qualify for will be higher than if you had a good credit score. If this is the case, you should not try and finance your dream car, rather a finance vehicle that will suit your needs until you can improve your credit score.
If you have a low credit score we recommend selecting with the shortest repayment term possible. This will allow you to trade out of the vehicle, and finance another car at a better interest rate, much quicker if your credit improves.
When you owe more on your used car trade in than it is worth you should think about buying a lower priced new car with money back incentives. The excess amount that you owe when compared to the used car value will be added on to the new loan. A money back incentive will lower the amount you will have to ad to the new car loan and by focusing on less expensive cars with payments you can afford you may be able to pay the car off quicker and avoid adding addition money on the next car you trade in.
The best way to end this cycle is to keep your current vehicle until it is paid off, use a large cash down payment to cover the negative equity, or buy something affordable that you can pay off more quickly. It should be noted also that it is unlikely that you can trade out of a car loan with negative equity and buy a car with a lower monthly payment.
