Pro Tip
"A shorter loan term might mean a higher monthly payment, but it can save you thousands in interest. Always check if your lender has 'pre-payment penalties' before paying extra."

Term Comparison
Loan Principal
The principal is the actual amount you borrow to buy the car. Your monthly payment is split between paying down this principal and paying the interest the lender charges.
Depreciation
Cars lose value over time. If you take a very long loan (72+ months), you might end up "upside down," meaning you owe more on the loan than the car is worth.
Gap Insurance
If your car is totaled and you owe more than its market value, Gap Insurance covers the difference. This is especially important for low down payment loans.
