what is the point in using an auto loan calculator? Won't they tell me how much my payments will be at the dealership?
The point in using an auto loan calculator is so that you know what your payment amounts will be before you get to the car dealer. You will want to know what amount that you can spend on a car and be able to afford the payments. Even though you have a dollar figure in mind that most likely doesn't include interest.
You will soon learn the amount your want to spend on a car is not as significant as the interest rate you will pay on the loan is. If you know in advance what your payment amounts will be at a particular interest rate you can shop for a car without a surprise at the end when your payments acre calculated. If you go online and use an auto loan calculator before you go shopping for a car you can shop with intelligence.
You want to be a smart consumer and using one of these auto loan calculators will enable you to make a wise decision. Interest rates seriously affect the amount of your loan so know ahead of time the rate you want to shop for and know what your payments will be with several different rates.
