The lender pays the dealer for the vehicle, and the client repays the loan amount plus interest according to an established payment schedule. The vehicle is registered in the buyer’s name, but the lender is listed as the Lienholder until the loan is paid in full.

The Monthly Payment depends on the Amount Financed, APR, and Loan Term. The contract may also include taxes, fees, GAP coverage, a Service Contract, or Negative Equity. Before signing, you should understand not only the payment but also the Total of Payments and every item included in the Amount Financed.

The Monthly Payment is calculated using the Amount Financed, APR, and Loan Term. The Amount Financed may include the vehicle price, taxes, fees, optional products, and Negative Equity, minus the Down Payment, rebates, and Positive Equity from a Trade-In.

The same vehicle can have a different payment depending on the rate, term, and upfront payment. Request the complete structure of the transaction: Selling Price, Amount Financed, APR, Number of Payments, and Total of Payments.

Sometimes. This may be possible when the lender approves a sufficient Loan-to-Value Ratio, the credit profile is strong, the vehicle is priced appropriately for the market, and the transaction does not include substantial Negative Equity. Rebates or Trade-In Equity may also replace part of the cash contribution.

“Zero Down” does not necessarily mean that no payment will be required at signing. Registration, the first payment, or other charges may still be due. A larger loan also increases the Monthly Payment and total borrowing cost.

ALFACAR can coordinate financing through banks and finance companies available through partner dealerships, including manufacturer-affiliated lenders. The specific options depend on the brand, dealer, state, and the client’s credit profile.

We do not submit an application to every lender without a valid reason. Our goal is to identify an appropriate financing path and compare available terms; the final credit decision is always made by the lender.

Sometimes a lender allows part of the Negative Equity from the current vehicle to be rolled into a new loan. The difference between the Payoff Amount and Trade-In Value is then added to the Amount Financed.

This increases the Loan-to-Value Ratio, Monthly Payment, and total borrowing cost, so the lender may require a Down Payment or a less expensive vehicle. Before deciding, compare three options: keeping the current vehicle, paying part of the difference in cash, or rolling it into the new transaction.

A dealership sells vehicles from a specific brand and is primarily interested in selling its own inventory. ALFACAR is not tied to a single dealer or brand. We can compare offers from different dealers and find the option that best fits your needs, budget, and timeline.

We look beyond the vehicle price or monthly payment. Our review includes the amount due at signing, interest rate, term, taxes, registration, additional fees, Trade-In, and total cost of the transaction. ALFACAR does not replace the dealer: the dealer supplies the vehicle and completes the sale, while we represent the client’s interests and help make the transaction as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
