Having financing lined up is good but not complete. The correct way is to have financing lined up and then allow the dealer F&I manager a chance to arrange better financing. They usually can find better financing. Nothing to lose, take the financing which works best for you.

This was so valuable. My eyes would cross everytime I would look at this stuff. I've hated this so much that for the past 30 years I've purchased my cars with cash. I need a new used car (new to me) and I need to finance it this time. I've been totally dreading it. After watching this video I feel so much better about the process. Thank you.

The buyer (drawee) issues a purchase order and the seller (drawer) issues a invoice bill, of exchange. A bill of exchange should be drawn by the seller (drawer) on the buyer (drawee) of goods or services sold and accepted by the such buyer (drawee). Pay to the order of (buyer) is a form of negotiation, drawn by the seller (drawer) that has to be accepted by the buyer (drawee). The Note that is prepared by a PAYING AGENT, is a Substitute for Cash that belongs to the indorser, and it paid for Vehicle. So much for the Truth in Lending "ACT."

I purchased my vehicle for almost 20k less then new sale price. It had 8k miles on it. The original owner got the loan and drove off the lot. He then decided to travel the country in his towed RV. The bank decided not to finance him and he was told to return the vehicle 😂. He finished his cross country trip and returned it. So now the 78k truck is in the 58k range. Only a very rich or stupid person would ever buying new.

Excellent information, thank you!

This is perfect explanation

Good info, thanks it helps

Really helpful, thank you

Here is a magical secret thing to pay less money on a financed car. You can pay it way before the loan expires. So you can have whatever amount of interest at the end of the life of the loan, you are not going to pay that because you should pay your loan early and not give money away to banks :)

Zach, another great and informative video. It was concise, precise, and right on target. Kim made all the bullet points understandable while being fun while watching. She’s one smart, caring woman and certainly not hard to look at. Keep up the great work…please!

Car contracts! They frost my cookies! Great video, thank you so much!

You say that many people are unfamiliar with how interest works. How do you overcome that barrier? If they are surprised by the concept of interest, that is a pretty clear indication that they are naive on all financial topics. It is unreasonable to expect an F&I Manager to tutor them in 5 minutes on a topic that requires weeks in a quarter long class on consumer financial topics.

I have never financed a car purchase. I either wrote a check or paid cash. You would be surprised how cheap you can buy a new car when you purchase outright.

I have such a crush on Kimberly! Don't know how I found this channel, but great work guys.

A dealer also charged me $500 separately for a finance fee in addition to the payments.

if ever the financed charge doesn't add up and I asked for a break down and opt out of the gap fees and other additional stuff they added to it and yet it still doesn't add up to the agreed upon price, can I not go through with the deal and is it ok to walk away from that?

Is there a way to identify if Rule of 78 is being applied or not to financing contract ?

Too late but I learned a lesson 😅

CONtract!! For sure!! R.I.A=RETAIL INSTALLMENT AGREEMENT!! EVERYYYY DEALERSHIP ENGAGES IN FRAUD BY NOT GIVING FULL DISCLOSURE/VIOLATING T.I.L.A!! You should NOT be putting down CASH on a CREDIT (Financing) Transaction and They ALL KNOW IT!!

What if I’m going to pay cash does the finance rigmarole matter?

…@ ….9:15……Take long Contract and match it to Buyers order price

What's requirements do dealers have in presenting the tila? Do they have legal obligation to explain each fee or is that the buyers responsibility? Is the dealer required to provide a hard copy or can it be done through a screen on the desk ?

Can we cancel the extra items we didn’t know we were buying even if it’s been 6 months?! 😩

Yeah...[ I don't know about that crush I have on Kimberly, but man I can't wait to buy a car . I just need 50 hours of practice8 I and 30 hours of studying, and I'll be good!!

Is there a video just like this, only breaking down a lease contract instead? And reverse that, explain like i am a toddler, about exchanging my lease if i am not happy 6 months later.

Why didn’t the down payment come off the price before financing?

Prepayment question: Is the definition of a penalty charge the same as saving money on the interest of the loan if you decide to pay off the principle early (way before the last payment is due)?

@scottr2706

Жыл бұрын

Most auto loans with reputable lenders do not have a pre-payment penalty. If the loan has a pre-payment penalty the penalty will likely be a flat amount. Once the loan is paid off interest payments stop. Interest on a car loan is computed and paid monthly. If you pay off the loan early you pay less overall interest. One smart approach is to pay more each month than the required monthly payment. This pays the loan balance more quickly which results in less interest paid. So, yes, you will not pay as much interest as you would if you had paid off the loan over the full loan period.

Don’t forget if interest rates goes up you’re paying more

I only finance at my credit union.

How about if its a lease? I agreed and signed everything BUT they still need my downpayment and i haven't registered the car (or insured) it under my name. So the car is still in the dealership, and of course they won't let me take it without the full downpayment. But then i have some financial issues and cannot provide the downpayment. And now they're saying i cannot cancel it anymore because the bank approved my loan already 😢. Can i still back out?

TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

Down payment reduces your loan amount. it doesn't reduce the sale price. If your total out the door was 25k, but you put 3k down, your amount financed would be 22k.

The total sales price is the total of your payments plus your down payment. Every dollar you would have into the car (if you do not pay it off early).

Scenario/ Question: shopping for a new ride from a dealership. Via email (after calls/texting and building a loose relationship with sales staff)I requested (3x) Monroney label, OTD, and dealer invoice from factory. This was on a vehicle that was exactly what I was looking for. After first request, was sent window sticker for a vehicle that was already spoken for. The rest was ignored. Then they said the vehicle I wanted was sold but they had more in transit. One of which was a 98% match to what I wanted but the wrong color. So I made another request for the aforementioned docs for that vehicle. After the second request, I was sent a mocked up purchase agreement with the wrong tax percentage, but full window sticker price, tax, title, docs.and the rest was ignored. Finally after sending them a polite but rather terse email explaining my position, I was told that I don’t pay sale tax for the county where I live in and that they don’t send out the invoice info, but did send me the correct window sticker. They also sent me a text saying the vehicle was in the local rail yard waiting for delivery to the dealership and if I hurried and made a $2K deposit and signed the agreement (for which we never negotiated or agreed upon), then that would hold the vehicle for me because all their other sales people were doing the same thing. I politely thanked them for their time and said adios. Was that the right move and was I expecting too much from a dealership in 2023??

Are these suppose to be real numbers. Or just made up. Whats that about #'s not matching. Doesnt add up right.

What if I signed a contract that I still need to take to a loan/lender (credit union, bank, etc.) but haven't had the lender contact my dealer, and I also didn't drive off in the car. Am I still obligated to buy the car?

Just hire thees guys do what they tell you pay them or pay that slick dealer I will never buy alone I just bought a Pilot I know is not mush but maybe I over paid by 1500 bucks At first they want 12 present then after I want to leave dropped to 6 present

So i went to the dealership and picked out a car sat down with a salesman got to the point of asking about a down payment i said im gonna put 0 down the finance manager came and said thats not gonna happen i said write it up and please submit it he did to a few companies came back and said i was denied giving no reason so i called the finance companies got a hold of one and asked why i was denied and and they were confused and said i wasnt denied i was approved and they were waiting on a sales contract. I contacted to dealership and they told me i was wrong and it turned into a back and forth then the finance manager stated he wouldnt send a contract without a down payment even though the finance comapany said they werent requesting a down payment the finance manager stated he couldnt send it without a down payment cause he didnt want it to come down on his head if i left the lot with the car with no down payment can you tell me or give advice on what to do

The trade-in value is deducted from the price of the car, but it is not listed as a down payment. It is essentially the same though.

Something is wrong here. If the down payment was paid to the dealership it's not supposed to be added it's should be subtracted this example is incorrect the $2500 should be minus from the agreed sales price.

@scottr2706

The interest amount shown on the loan documents is the interest amount you will pay if you pay off the loan as agreed over the full term of the loan. The actual interest paid is computed monthly based on the current unpaid loan balance. If, for example, you take a $30,000 loan at 5 percent over 60 months your monthly payment would be $566. The total interest paid would be about $3,970. If you actually paid $666 a month, you would pay off the loan in 50 months and the total interest you would pay would be about $3,296. So you would save about $674 due to paying less interest. If you paid off that loan in 30 months the total interest paid would be about $1,976 and the amount you would pay each month for 30 months would be about $1,066. Use an on-line auto loan calculator.
