There are 5 ways to get a $300 car payment:
|
|
|
Method 1: Adjust the finance term Longer financing can keep the monthly payment low on a more expensive car. A $300 car payment on a 3 year loan can buy a $10,000 car. A $300 car payment on a 6 year loan can buy an $18,000 car. Finance charges are higher on longer loans, so buyers ofter choose the shortest loan that feels comfortable.
Method 2: Negotiate the interest rate If the APR is reduced by one point, then buyers can afford $500 more per vehicle on a $300 monthly payment for 6 years. |

Method 3: Consider a down payment If buyers want a more expensive car at $300 per month, then they can pay the difference to get to the payment. For example, if someone buys a $25,000 car, and pays $10,000 up front, then the remaining balance of $15,000 can be financed for 5 years at a $300 payment.
Method 4: Consider a trade-in A trade vehicle can lower the amount financed to get to the desired payment. Most car dealers will accept all kinds of trades including cars, motorcycles, boats, trailers, campers, ATVs, etc.
Method 5: Get a $15000 car If buyers don't have a downpayment or a trade vehicle, then the best way to get to a $300 car payment is to shop for a vehicle around $15,000. A $15,000 car has a monthly payment of $300 for 5 years at a 7.5% interest rate. |
