FAQ

How is the amount financed calculated?
Amount financed = vehicle price + sales tax − down payment − trade-in value. Sales tax is applied to the vehicle price.
Does a trade-in reduce my loan?
Yes. The trade-in value is subtracted from the price (along with your down payment) before the loan is calculated, lowering the amount you finance.
How is sales tax handled?
Sales tax is computed as price × tax rate and added to the amount financed, so you pay interest on the tax unless you cover it up front.
