How does interest work on a car loan and how does it impact the overall cost of the loan?
Interest on a car loan is the additional money you pay to the lender for borrowing the money. It is calculated as a percentage of the loan amount. The interest rate and the length of the loan determine how much interest you will pay over time. The higher the interest rate and the longer the loan term, the more you will pay in interest. This increases the overall cost of the loan, making it more expensive to borrow money for the car.
