There's little doubt that cars are generally getting more
expensive with all the new technologies, designs, and standard features. The
rising price point of vehicles has resulted in more drivers choosing to finance
their next vehicular purchase. Financing comes with a number of benefits for
those able to read and comprehend the terms they're agreeing to. Here are a few
financing terms
you should know before signing for a loan.
Credit Score
One of the main factors lenders use to determine whether or not to approve an
application is a driver's credit score. This is determined by a variety of
factors, including amounts owed and payment history. It also influences what
interest rate drivers are charged.
Depreciation
This is the decline in a vehicle's value over time. Some vehicles lose their
value faster than others. One example is the steep decline, sometimes up to 40
percent, in value as soon as a new vehicle is driven off the lot. Sometimes
depreciation can result in drivers owing more than the vehicle is worth.
