Frequently asked questions

Is tax charged before the trade-in?

It depends on where you live. This tool taxes the price minus trade-in, which is common in Canada and many US states.

What term is best?

Shorter terms cost more per month but much less interest overall.

Is 0% APR supported?

Yes, the payment is then simply the amount divided by months.
