Paying For Your Car
Next to buying a house, a new vehicle is one of the biggest purchases you will ever make. Once you’ve decided on your dream car, you’ll have to line up financing through a bank, credit union or directly from the dealership. You’ll understand how total sticker price and interest can change the overall cost of ownership, and come to realize that MSRP is the starting point of car price negotiations; trade-ins and rebates can bring down the cost even further.
