When you are approved for a car loan the lender typically will set the maximum monthly payment for which the loan is approved. Generally, the maximum payment is either 12% to 18% of your gross monthly income or 45% of you income less your monthly obligations.

When calculating how much you can afford you should always include the cost of gasoline, automobile insurance, and maintaining your used car. Major repair costs can throw any ones budget way off track, to lessen the likelihood that this will happen consider adding on a vehicle service contract to you finance package. This will increase your monthly payment, but ensure major repairs, if needed, are affordable.

If you have a low credit score the interest rate you will qualify for will be higher than if you had a good credit score. If this is the case, you should not try and finance your dream car, rather a finance vehicle that will suit your needs until you can improve your credit score.

If you have a low credit score we recommend selecting with the shortest repayment term possible. This will allow you to trade out of the vehicle, and finance another car at a better interest rate, much quicker if your credit improves.

If you are upside down in you current vehicle an alternative you may not have thought of is purchasing a brand new car, especially a low cost new car with manufacturer's incentive. The incentive from the OEM may be enough to cover the amount that you are upside down; it does not matter whether the incentive is cash money back or a low interest rate.

"Often, being upside down in your trade is like a snow ball rolling down a hill, it keeps getting bigger every time you purchase until one day it gets to the bottom of the hill. If you continue buy new cars when you are upside down in your trade, sooner or later the process will stop, and you will hear, "I am sorry, the bank won't finance that amount on this car, you will need to make up the difference in cash."
