How to Finance Your Next Car
Too many car buyers overlook the importance of financing a car properly. They merely throw themselves at the mercy of the car dealer. This can cost you thousands of dollars over the years. In truth, getting the right car loan, at a good interest rate, is the best way to cut car-related costs. And it only takes minutes to find out how to arrange the best loan. But you need to consider this important step now, before you go the dealership.
On this page we have important overview articles on finance options, interest rates and credit scores. For more information, you can throw light on the confusing subject of credit history. Or, you can discover how to save money by refinancing your car loan and move from a high to a lower interest rate. We even have an article for people with special finance considerations.
Remember, when you negotiate with a car salesman nothing is final until you have it in writing in the contract. The actual loan contract is arranged in the Finance and Insurance Room (often called "F&I;") after a tentative deal is reached with the car salesman. It's here that your knowledge of finance issues will save you thousands of dollars. Be prepared and be empowered to be an informed car buyer.
