How to Finance a Used Car

Just like with a new vehicle, you can finance a used car. All you need to do is apply for pre-approval, put a down payment on the used car you’re interested in, and negotiate a contract with our finance department. Once you sign the dotted line, the car is yours. Of course, you’ll need to make monthly payments on the loan you’ve taken out.

A few factors to consider when calculating your budget is that the amount of money you put down, the interest rate you’re eligible for, and loan term length can all affect how able the size of your monthly payments. You can bolster the size of your down payment by trading in your vehicle for credit. Now let’s take a moment to look at how many years you can finance a used car for, and how the length of your loan term affects your monthly payment.

How Long Can You Finance a Used Car?

For most people, the average loan length is approximately 60 to 72 months. Of course, a loan’s term will be based on the monthly payment you can afford and the size of your down payment, but there’s no universal, established maximum term limit. Keep in mind that many lenders won’t finance vehicles over seven years old with more than 100,000 miles. The important thing to know, however, is that longer loans come with smaller monthly payments but more interest, whereas shorter loans feature larger monthly payments and less interest.
