Making the decision to purchase a new vehicle is a big one that shouldn't be taken lightly. We want you to make an informed purchasing decision, so here are some basic financing terms you need to know before you sign on the dotted line.

Owning a vehicle is much more than just the initial price tag that comes along in the form of a monthly car payment. The total cost of ownership includes several other things such as fuel costs, maintenance costs, and the cost of insurance.
