Understand the Process of Car Loans in Lake StevensBuying a used car can be fun, exciting, overwhelming and confusing, particularly if you have never done it before. Even if you have, it is not likely that you have bought a pre-owned vehicle very often. Financing can be a simple process if you are prepared before the outset. Be aware of what loan terms mean when shopping for car loans in Lake Stevens.

  • own payment is the amount of money, a percentage of the asking price of the car, that is required to initiate the loan process. There is a minimum amount but it is always better to pay more. Sometimes a trade-in may be considered as your down payment.
  • The loan term is the length of the loan – 3 years, 5 years, etc. A shorter term has higher monthly payments but less interest while a longer term has smaller payments and more interest for one of the many used Audi cars for sale.
  • The annual percentage rate or APR is the interest rate you pay to take out the loan.
  • The finance charge is the money the dealer and/or lender charges to take charge of your loan. This amount may vary from dealer to dealer.
  • The extra fees and/or penalties that may be a part of your contract should be understood before you sign.
