A financial calculator can be used as a tool to help you with your vehicle selection.
Use it to calculate your monthly payment, decide how much you can afford
and determine which is financially better for you — the rebate or the special
financing.
Taxes are not included in this calculation because they vary by county. A Dealer
Specialist can explain how taxes are calculated in your area.
When making the decision to purchase a new vehicle, bear in mind that your monthly
expenses may be substantially greater than just the payment on your loan. After
you select your vehicle, you should check with your insurance provider to find out
what your premium will be before signing a contract. Buying a vehicle with a higher
trim level or a sports package, for example, can increase your premium even if the
level of your coverage remains the same. You also must factor fuel expenses into
the equation. If you are buying a new model that gets worse gas mileage than what
you currently drive, you might be surprised at how fuel expenses can add up over
the long run.
