 TITLE: Why You Should Avoid Long-Term Auto Loans CONTENT: The Long-Term Results of Long-Term Car Loans\n--------------------------------------------\nLong-term auto loans lasting 84 months or more may seem like a great way to get your dream car for less. But in the long run, those lower monthly payments come at a steep cost. At best, a long-term auto loan means paying thousands of dollars more in interest over the loan term. At worst, it means owing more than your car is worth, which could put you in a precarious financial position. Improving your credit score, making a bigger down payment or choosing a less expensive car are smarter ways to get the car you need without getting in over your head financially. END
