Car Financing Tips
May 19, 2012 - 7:41
The first thing that you should consider is how much you can afford. A general rule of thumb to follow is a monthly used car loan payment that is the littlest of 15% of your monthly income before taxes or 50% of your income, less your expenses, including the new car loan payment.
Other items to include in the budget are the total cost of ownership of the vehicle. When comparing the total cost of a vehicle consider such things as insurance rates, gas mileage, and repair costs. To mitigate repair costs we recommend including an extended service contract with the vehicle at time of purchase.
Consumers with a poor Fico score pay higher finance rates than consumers with Fico scores above 700. If you have a Fico score below 700 we recommend buying a car that meets your basic transportation needs. Wait until your Fico score improves before buying a more expensive automobile.
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.
"Often, being upside down in your trade is like a snow ball rolling down a hill, it keeps getting bigger every time you purchase until one day it gets to the bottom of the hill. If you continue buy new cars when you are upside down in your trade, sooner or later the process will stop, and you will hear, "I am sorry, the bank won't finance that amount on this car, you will need to make up the difference in cash."
