Car Buying Tips
May 19, 2012 - 22:41
Prior to considering what you can afford for an auto loan payment you should think about other cost associated with buying a car. These costs can vary widely by vehicle and possibly make turn what you through you could afford into an obligation that you struggle to meet. These costs are auto insurance, the vehicles mpg, and maintenance and repair costs.
Before you visit the dealership you should also have a good idea of what you can comfortably set aside each month for a car loan payment. When calculating this take into account your current auto loan payment. Do you struggle each month or is the current payment affordable? If you currently do not have a car loan payment how much are you saving each month? Your new auto loan payment should not be greater than your current payment plus the amount you place into savings each month.
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.
In addition to buying a modest used car, we recommend that people with poor Fico scores finance their purchase for no longer than 48 months. A shorter car loan term makes it much easier to trade out of the used car when your Fico score improves.
If you have negative equity, consider buying an affordable new car with a cash rebate. Many people in Fort Wayne fall into the negative equity trap by continually buying more expensive cars and rolling negative equity from their pervious car loan to the new auto loan.
"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."
