When you are approved for a car loan the lender typically will set the maximum monthly payment for which the loan is approved. Generally, the maximum payment is either 12% to 18% of your gross monthly income or 45% of you income less your monthly obligations.

Other items to include in the budget are the total cost of ownership of the vehicle. When comparing the total cost of a vehicle consider such things as insurance rates, gas mileage, and repair costs. To mitigate repair costs we recommend including an extended service contract with the vehicle at time of purchase.

It's no secret that people with a bad credit rating will pay a higher interest rate when compared to people with a great credit rating. If you have bad credit, instead of trying to buy the car of your dreams focus on a used car that is affordable until your credit rating improves.

If you have a low credit score we recommend selecting with the shortest repayment term possible. This will allow you to trade out of the vehicle, and finance another car at a better interest rate, much quicker if your credit improves.

If you have negative equity, consider buying an affordable new car with a cash rebate. Many people in San Jose fall into the negative equity trap by continually buying more expensive cars and rolling negative equity from their pervious car loan to the new auto loan.

In fact the only way to avoid rolling money on to your new loan is to own you car until the lien is paid, use enough money down to cover the previous lien, or buy a car that you can pay off fast. We should also mention that in most cases, if you the money you own on your used car trade in is greater than the lien amount, it is probable that your new auto loan payment will be higher than the payment on the vehicle you are trading in.
