You've got your eye on the perfect vehicle and you want to lower the monthly auto loan payment to fit your cash flow
For example, you’ve found a vehicle, new or used, that has everything you’re looking for, but it’s not
quite affordable if you take out a typical auto loan.
The chart below* shows you how choosing a term up to seven years can lower your monthly payments and
help you get the vehicle you want today.

As you can see, a seven-year term can lower your monthly payments to make the vehicle you want more affordable.
You have a monthly budget in mind and want to get the most for your money
Choosing a term up to seven years can allow you to buy a more expensive vehicle for the same monthly cost as
a lower-priced one. You can use the extra purchasing power to select a model or features that meet your
needs for added cargo room, safety or new technology features like hybrid power.
For example, let’s say that your monthly budget is $500. The chart below* shows you what you could afford
based on various loan term periods.

As you can see, a seven-year term can help you afford more of the features you want by making your budget go farther.

of the vehicle you are considering.

Basically, the newer the car, the longer you can take to pay it off.
