How does the affordability of one car compare to another? One vehicle may be less expensive on the car lot but cost a lot more to insure, keep fuel in it, and repair. Typically luxury cars cost more to repair, have lower mpg ratings, but often cost less to insure. On the other hand, compact cars cost more to insure, but much less to maintain and fuel up. Prior to finalizing your vehicle purchase you should be aware how these costs on the specific car you are buying will affect your monthly obligations.

Before you visit the dealership you should also have a good idea of what you can comfortably set aside each month for a car loan payment. When calculating this take into account your current auto loan payment. Do you struggle each month or is the current payment affordable? If you currently do not have a car loan payment how much are you saving each month? Your new auto loan payment should not be greater than your current payment plus the amount you place into savings each month.

It's no secret that people with a bad credit rating will pay a higher interest rate when compared to people with a great credit rating. If you have bad credit, instead of trying to buy the car of your dreams focus on a used car that is affordable until your credit rating improves.

In addition to buying a modest used car, we recommend that people with poor Fico scores finance their purchase for no longer than 48 months. A shorter car loan term makes it much easier to trade out of the used car when your Fico score improves.

If you are upside down in you current vehicle an alternative you may not have thought of is purchasing a brand new car, especially a low cost new car with manufacturer's incentive. The incentive from the OEM may be enough to cover the amount that you are upside down; it does not matter whether the incentive is cash money back or a low interest rate.

The best way to end this cycle is to keep your current vehicle until it is paid off, use a large cash down payment to cover the negative equity, or buy something affordable that you can pay off more quickly. It should be noted also that it is unlikely that you can trade out of a car loan with negative equity and buy a car with a lower monthly payment.
