The practical guide to buying, financing and selling a car in America
The Car-Buying Revolution
Pay less for your next car and its loan. Know what the car and the loan will cost you, before you sign.
One number to start
What a loan really costs
The monthly payment tells you whether a car fits your budget. It doesn't tell you what the car and the loan cost you.
The book's example
Say you borrow $30,000 at 10% APR for 60 months, an example rate.
| Payment each month | $637.41 |
|---|---|
| Interest over 60 months | $8,244.68 |
The $8,244.68 comes on top of the $30,000.
That's $8,244.68 that never touches the car.
Could you have seen that number before you signed? Could you have paid less of it?
