Frequently Asked Questions
What interest rate should I use?
Check current rates from banks/credit unions. Rates vary by credit score (700+ = best rates). This calculator uses a baseline; replace with your actual rate for accuracy.
Does APR include all fees?
APR typically includes interest but may not include origination fees, insurance, or gap insurance. Ask your lender for a full Truth in Lending Disclosure.
What's a reasonable loan term for a performance car?
48-60 months balances monthly payments with total interest. Longer terms (72+ months) mean lower payments but more total interest; shorter terms cost more monthly but less overall.
