How do I choose the right loan term for my car loan?
Selecting the right loan term for your car loan depends on your financial goals and monthly budget. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
Shorter Terms:
- Benefits: Lower interest rates and less total interest paid over the life of the loan.
- Considerations: Higher monthly payments, which may require a more flexible budget.
- Best for: Borrowers who want to save on interest and pay off the loan faster.
Longer Terms:
- Benefits: Lower monthly payments, making it easier to manage your budget.
- Considerations: Higher interest rates and more total interest paid over time.
- Best for: Borrowers looking for smaller monthly payments and more financial flexibility.
While Call Federal offers terms up to 84 months, choosing a term of 72 months or less can save you money on interest. Your credit score, loan-to-value ratio (LTV), and the car model you choose may also impact the available terms.
