The down payment effect
A larger down payment directly reduces the amount you're financing — and because interest is calculated on the financed amount, even a modest increase in down payment can meaningfully lower your monthly installment.
Term length: lower payment, more total interest
Stretching a car loan over a longer term lowers the monthly installment but increases total interest paid over the life of the loan — the same trade-off that applies to mortgages.
