Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is a good interest rate for a car loan?
Car loan rates depend on your credit score, loan term, and whether the car is new or used. Excellent credit may qualify for 3-5% on new cars. Used car rates are typically 1-2% higher.
How much should I put down on a car?
Aim to put down at least 20% on a new car or 10% on a used car. This reduces your loan amount, monthly payment, and the risk of being upside-down on the loan.
Should I lease or buy a car?
Buying is usually better long-term if you keep the car for many years. Leasing can make sense if you want a new car every few years and prefer lower monthly payments, but you build no equity.
