When I was a lot younger my Godmother often used to tell me that when I come of age she will pay the deposit on my first car, now my being in my early teens then I thought something was off with her or at least what she used to say to me didn’t make much sense, I often question why only provide the down payment instead of buying me a car period? It makes sense now many years later.
With getting a car loan there are factors that may work for or against you a down payment is one of those; lenders view your ability to pay a deposit as highly favourable although most car loan offer full on financing, the stipulation may come at a cost in the form of percentage points.
What that means is that the monthly installments that you will end paying back are determined by whether or not and how much money you are able to put as a down payment for the car, I am grateful to my Godmother for this lesson which she taught me at an early age.
