Should I use vehicle price or loan amount?

Use vehicle price when you want to include down payment, trade-in, taxes, and fees. Use loan amount only if you already know the exact amount being financed.

What auto loan term should I choose?

Shorter terms cost less interest but have higher payments. Longer terms lower the payment but can increase total interest and the risk of owing more than the car is worth.

Tips for Getting the Best Auto Loan Rate

Compare the out-the-door price, not only the monthly payment. A larger down payment and shorter term can reduce interest and help avoid negative equity.
