Frequently asked questions

How much down payment should I put on a car?

Aim for at least 10%–20% of the car price as a down payment. A larger deposit reduces your monthly payments and total interest, and helps avoid being 'underwater' on the loan.

Should I get dealer financing or a bank loan?

Always compare both. Dealers sometimes offer promotional rates (e.g. 0% for 24 months) but may inflate the vehicle price. Get pre-approved from a bank first so you know your baseline rate.
