Loan terms typically range from 36 to 84 months (3 to 7 years), though options vary by lender and your financial profile. A longer term means a lower monthly payment but more total interest paid over time. A shorter term costs more per month but saves you money overall. Your down payment, credit score, and the vehicle price all influence which terms are available to you. Our finance team runs real numbers so you can see the trade-off-they'll show you a few payment scenarios so you pick what fits your budget and goals.
