Car Buying Tips
May 19, 2012 - 5:34
When you are approved for a car loan the lender typically will set the maximum monthly payment for which the loan is approved. Generally, the maximum payment is either 12% to 18% of your gross monthly income or 45% of you income less your monthly obligations.
When calculating how much you can afford you should always include the cost of gasoline, automobile insurance, and maintaining your used car. Major repair costs can throw any ones budget way off track, to lessen the likelihood that this will happen consider adding on a vehicle service contract to you finance package. This will increase your monthly payment, but ensure major repairs, if needed, are affordable.
Consumers with a poor Fico score pay higher finance rates than consumers with Fico scores above 700. If you have a Fico score below 700 we recommend buying a car that meets your basic transportation needs. Wait until your Fico score improves before buying a more expensive automobile.
If you have a low credit score we recommend selecting with the shortest repayment term possible. This will allow you to trade out of the vehicle, and finance another car at a better interest rate, much quicker if your credit improves.
If you are upside down in you current vehicle an alternative you may not have thought of is purchasing a brand new car, especially a low cost new car with manufacturer's incentive. The incentive from the OEM may be enough to cover the amount that you are upside down; it does not matter whether the incentive is cash money back or a low interest rate.
The best way to end this cycle is to keep your current vehicle until it is paid off, use a large cash down payment to cover the negative equity, or buy something affordable that you can pay off more quickly. It should be noted also that it is unlikely that you can trade out of a car loan with negative equity and buy a car with a lower monthly payment.
