Auto finance is what I do for a living and it depends on three things.
1. Amount financed.
2. Term of loan.
3. Interest rate.
There are at least 10 different things that go into a car deal and all of them can affect your final interest rate and term.
After doing this for over 9-years I have actually seen loans where people ended up paying more in interest then the original price of the vehicle, so yes it’s well over $500.00.
It all depends on what your interest rate is and how much you finance. When I bought my car back in 08 I bought it for 20k and have a 2.9% interest rate im paying a little over 2k for the full 5 years I will have the loan for. If you don’t buy a new car you will not get that kind of interest rate, used car interest rates are always higher. When I financed my first car I had an interest rate of 13% and pay 17k for a car that was worth 10. You are deff going to pay way more than 500 for your interest.
If you buy it outright, you are making a cash purchase and there is no interest.
If you finance it, the amount of interest depends on how much you borrow (finance), the interest rate and how long you take to pay the money back. In most cases, it will be well over $500. The lender can print out an amortization schedule for your proposed loan or you can find loan amortization calculators online.
Financed cars is more expensive to insurance cause it requires full coverage. You can compare how much you would pay for full coverage of this car using this tool – carinsurance.yoll.net
