Before signing, get a pre-approved quote from a bank or credit union to compare with the dealer’s finance, negotiate the car’s price separately from the loan, and avoid stretching to 72–84 months unless you have to: longer terms mean more interest and a higher risk of owing more than the car is worth.

What affects your payment
The amount you borrow (price plus tax and fees, minus deposit and trade-in), the interest rate and the term. Longer terms lower the monthly payment but increase total interest, and can leave you owing more than the car is worth.
