Terms

 

 

  • Annual Percentage Rate (APR):
    • The yearly cost of your loan, expressed as a percentage.
  • Closed-End Credit or Loan:
    • This is the type of loan used for most automobile purchases. The amount financed plus any interest is to be repaid by a specific date and no additional amount can be borrowed on the loan.
  • Disability Insurance:
    • You can choose to purchase this type of insurance that will make payments on your auto loan if you become ill or injured and cannot work.
  • Extended Warranty:
    • An extended warranty will continue to provide the same benefits you receive on your factory warranty, even when the factory warranty has expired.

 

Finance-charges
  • Finance Charge:
    • The dollar amount your loan will cost you, including any interest.
  • Fixed Rate Loan:
    • With this type of loan, the interest rate and monthly payment remain the same over the life of the loan. Most auto loans fall in this category.
  • GAP Insurance:
    • This type of insurance will cover any difference in the amount you still owe on your vehicle loan and what your vehicle is worth in the case of a total loss.
