Loans templates

One number, itemised, with the taxable amount working your state's trade-in rule live rather than leaving it to you to remember: four states with a sales tax credit nothing against a trade-in, and Ohio credits it against a new vehicle only. Checks a documentation fee against the nine statutory caps this site has confirmed, and is explicit that the other 41 states are unresearched rather than uncapped. Prices the F&I office as the optional extra it is, and adds the trade-in payoff back into the amount financed — because negative equity does not disappear when you trade the car, it moves into the new loan and accrues interest.

The same car both ways over the same term, using this site's own lease definitions — depreciation base, the rent charge computed on capitalized cost PLUS residual, and the money-factor-to-APR conversion that turns a quoted 0.00300 back into the 7.2% it actually is. Prices the excess-mileage bill from the miles you really drive rather than the allowance you were sold. Then the line that decides it and is nearly always left out: what the car is still worth when a loan ends and a lease does not, which is why leasing so often looks cheaper than it is.
