How to lower your monthly car payment on an existing or new car purchase:
Trim Down for Savings
To save on your upcoming car, you can go with the base trim if you’re being cost-conscious. Choosing a base trim Volkswagen model allows you to keep more money in your wallet while also getting behind the wheel of a shiny new ride. For example, take a look at the new 2024 Volkswagen Jetta</a >. This model comes in a myriad of trim options such as the S, Sport, SE and SEL. They all come with varying levels of features. However, if you go with the S base model, you’ll still get to enjoy the reliability that this Volkswagen has to offer.
Explore Used and Certified Options
Exploring our used or Certified Pre-Owned</a > options provides two exceptional avenues for your car-buying journey. Experience maximum savings as well as a wide range of makes and models to choose from. When you shop our used inventory, you’ll gain peace of mind with a complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ — transparency is a top priority at Volkswagen Brandon.
Extend Your Loan Term
It doesn’t hurt to inquire about extending your loan term with your loan officer. Keep in mind factors such as your credit history, credit score, income and current debt can impact the loan term you end up with. However, it’s worth it to ask about an extended loan term. Typical terms last from three years (36 months) to seven years (84 months).
Boost Your Down Payment
We highly recommend putting as high of a down payment as possible in order to reduce your future monthly payments. Any additional amount, no matter how big or small, can positively affect later bills you’ll have to pay. If you don’t plan on purchasing a brand-new ride but you want to reduce costs on your current car, you can always apply any available funds to the principal amount you own on your loan — this is a great way to pay off the vehicle faster. Remember, you can also trade in your current car and save on your next upgrade. Discover the value of your vehicle in minutes through our online trade appraisal tool</a >.
Assess Your Credit
Your credit score is one of the most impactful factors in determining your monthly payment. Before you make the jump to a new car, you should gather a copy of your credit report and get a full understanding of where you stand. If you have a good score, this will improve your purchase eligibility and possibly qualify you for a lower interest rate. As always, the finance team</a > here at Volkswagen Brandon can help answer any questions you may have.
