Can someone explain to me what the following example means:

0% financing for 48 months, $27.78 per month per $1000 borrowed.

If that means you pay a fee to have the stated rate, is there a formula which determines the actual borrowing rate factoring in the fee?

yes. how would i compare the above to lets say another deal 1.9% over the same 48 months without extra fee

i guess what i’m asking is, since its not truly 0%, what is the annual rate with the monthly fee included ? is there a apr formula if i multiply the fee times 48 (months)?

What fee are you talking about? The bank on a car loan does not have fees like a mortgage would.
your loan amount consists of agreed upon sale price plus tax, tags and dealer fee minus any down payment or trade equity.

That also may just be a typo, the $27.77 number is a 36 month loan per $1,000.

schi....thanks. i typed #s from memory. the 0%, $27.78 figures were listed as a Honda deal but it may have been over 36 months instead.

honestly, i thought the fees were in addition to a payment based on sale price. factory financing deals never used to be cited that way so thats why i was confused.

as written, it seemed like buying points to lower rates on a mortgage.

Ah that explains why I had to delete my explanation. He was paying back $13K+ over 48 months. Not $10K.

The $27.70 number is just how much per month per $1000 borrowed. It you borrow $10K, you pay $277.70 a month per your admittedly wrong numbers.

And if you really have a 65 Shelby you shouldn't need a new car. ; )

delete the word "month" in your post. It is 27.78 per 1000 borrowed equals the monthly payment.

10K is 278.80. 20K is 555.60.

screw...this new car for the wife. the Shelby is the best $6,000 i ever spent. kidding of course. i’m a GM guy...but did you read about how the Bullitt car was found abandoned and trashed in Mexico (i think).

and yes....for my last example, say i borrowed $1200 at 0% for 12 months. Monthly payment would be $100. i get that. as written online, i thought the fees were in addition.

I am here to save you from all this financial complication.

1. Sell the wife.
2. Use the proceeds from the sale to purchase hookers and blow in cash.
3. Enjoy not needing another car with registration fees, insurance, etc.

No need to thank me for this excellent advice. It has been my pleasure to serve.

You should play around with a loan calculator. If you're financing about $30,000 for 48 months the 0% financing is worth about $1500. A little less if you shop around for the least expensive regular car loan you can find.

Figure out the price of the car including fees and tax and negotiate and/or shop that number, then worry about financing.

yes i get that....the language about the specific costs threw me. perhaps if in parentheses i wouldnt have thought it was additional cost.
