How is the interest on my auto loan calculated?

Ducky_077 asked:


My interest rate is 2.9% and every month, the amount that goes towards interest fluctuates (up and down) by as much as 10 dollars even though I pay the same amount each month. Is the interest calculated monthly (.029/12) * Amount Remaining or is it calculated factoring days in the month and when I paid?

Can someone explain auto loan interest?

Phillyfan23 asked:


In investigating some auto loan potentials for me, a poor credit borrower…here was one proposal i saw…

The amount financed …car and taxes …would be 17,848

The interest rate is 18%, and it lists finance charge as 11,663.71 for a total of 29,512…its a 72 month term

The rate i expected as with my credit its in line with what it should be…but does that seem right for the total charges, i mean the total finance charges is over 50% of the total cost…

I’m not sure how they calculate interest in these things, but can someone with knowledge help me out to see if i’m not being burned besides the interest rate?

Auto Loan Rates – Saving on Auto Loan Interest

Kalvin Jason asked:


In today’s world, attitude determines a lot of things. Attitude determines whether you want to get the best of something or the worst. Same is the case with auto loan rates. You have variable loan rates. You can get the best only if you are ready to work for that. There are some basic tips to get the best rates for your loans.

The rates offered by lenders are negotiable. You need to work out the best for you. The lenders are ready to bend for a few reasons. First, they know that there are a lot of lenders in the market. Second, they would also earn through the car company.

And third, they want to develop a goodwill, which works very high. So auto loan rates are very negotiable until you get the best.

Auto loans are of two types-secured and unsecured. Secured loans offer you better interest rates, longer repayment terms, and higher loan amounts. They cover most of the loan amounts. However, unsecured loans have the advantages of being faster, and involving lesser paperwork. Though, you usually don’t get complete amount of the car as loan. You need down payment. Auto loan rates vary with the kind of loan you take, and with the amount of down payment, and value of the collateral used, if any.

You can ask your bank to provide you with loans. Usually, the institution you have worked with provides you the best rates. However, this may not be always true. You can also try your contacts. Through family and friends circle, you can know the best lenders in the market. You may use online money lenders to provide you with the best deals due to cutthroat competition prevalent in the market scenario today.

Online lenders usually work with a huge array of lenders, so they are in position to provide you with best auto loan rates.

Borrow loan from bank to pay off car loan for lower interest rate?

ijustdontknow777 asked:


I currently am financed for 8.85% for my auto. I bought it in 2006 and matures in 2012. I have about 15K left to pay. Should I try to borrow a loan from a bank for 15K to pay off my vehicle if they lend me money at a lower interest rate of 8.85%?
