Key Vehicle Loan Terms

If you're shopping for a luxury vehicle in Niagara-on-the-Lake or the surrounding regions, you'll want to ensure you make the best investment possible. Part of this involves knowing the ins and outs of auto financing. At our St Catharines luxury vehicle dealership, we champion transparency as one of our key tenets, which is why we've put together this glossary of important concepts related to auto financing pre-approval. Let's take a closer look:

• Interest: When you take out a loan, an additional percentage of your monthly payment is paid to the lender as a fee for providing you with the loan.
• Down Payment: When you borrow money, you're usually required to put down a certain amount toward the loan's principal as a show of commitment.
• Loan Principal: The amount of the loan, excluding interest.
• Loan Term: The length of the loan. Remember that a longer loan has smaller monthly payments and more total interest, while a shorter loan has larger monthly payments and less total interest.
• APR: This refers to the annual percentage rate, or the annually fixed interest rate you'll be required to pay for your loan.
• Trade-In Value: You can use the value of your current vehicle as a down payment toward the principal of the loan for your next vehicle. This can substantially lower your monthly payment. To find out what your current vehicle is worth, use our trade-in value calculator.
• Lease: When you lease a vehicle, you get temporary but exclusive access for the duration of the lease. This means you only pay for associated fees, interest, and the depreciation that occurs over the lease term. Leasing is often more affordable than financing on a month-to-month basis, while funding allows you to build equity.
