Key Vehicle Loan Terms
As you shop for a premium Lexus model in Mayaguez, you will want to ensure you are making the best possible investment. Part of this involves understanding car financing. Let’s take a look at these important concepts related to pre-approval for car financing.
- Interest: When you take out a loan, you pay the lender an additional percentage of your monthly payment as a fee for granting the loan.
- Down payment: When you borrow money, you are usually required to pay a certain amount toward the loan principal as a sign of commitment.
- Loan principal: This is the value of the loan, excluding interest.
- Loan term: This refers to the duration of the loan. Remember that a longer loan offers lower monthly payments but results in higher total interest, while a shorter loan offers higher monthly payments with less total interest.
- APR: This stands for Annual Percentage Rate, or the annual interest rate you will pay on your loan.
- Trade-in value: You can use the value of your current vehicle as a down payment toward the loan principal for your next car. This can substantially reduce your monthly payment. To find out what your current vehicle is worth, use our trade-in value calculator.
- Lease: When you lease a car, you gain temporary but exclusive access to it for the duration of the lease. This means you only pay the associated fees, interest, and the depreciation that occurs during the lease term. Leasing is usually more affordable than monthly financing payments, whereas financing allows you to build equity.
