Norfolk auto dealers have different cars and different bargains, and it’s the same for banks and lenders who want your business. When shopping for a deal on a Ford in the Virginia market, don’t forget to compare interest rates and terms the same way you compare prices. You may be used to taking out an auto loan with your current bank when it’s time to shop for a vehicle at Cavalier Ford, but when was the last time you compared financing terms with other lenders? Compare the dealer terms with your bank, or compare your current lender with another. Chances are you’ll find a more competitive interest rate and you might just find some extra wiggle room in your monthly car budget—more favorable terms can save you money over the lifetime of the loan that you could use to get into a better model Ford.

When comparing terms before you purchase from your favorite Norfolk auto dealer salesperson, do the math on three important areas—the interest rate, the length of the auto loan itself, and the size of your down payment. If you can afford to make a larger down payment, do it. Can you afford to take a shorter loan? This is also a money-saver over the long term when it comes to paying interest.
