One of the most important factors to consider when buying a car is financing. At Koppy Motors, we want to help make vehicle financing as easy and transparent as possible.

Calculating Your Buying Power


Before you start shopping for a car in Forest Lake or Hinckley, it’s important to know what you can afford. This is where calculating your buying power comes in. To do this, you’ll need to assess your monthly budget and decide how much money you can comfortably spare on a car payment each month. Consider additional automotive costs like insurance, maintenance, and gas, too.

Deciding on Your Monthly Car Payment


Once you’ve calculated your buying power, you’ll need to decide how much of it you should spend on your monthly car payment. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a monthly payment that is no more than 15% of your monthly take-home pay. This will help ensure that your car payment is manageable and won’t strain your finances.

Getting the Best Financing Deal


It’s important to shop around and compare offers from financial institutions. This will help you get the best financing deal when you’re ready to buy a car from Koppy Motors. A critical factor when applying for financing is your credit score. A good credit score can help you qualify for lower interest rates, thus saving you money over the life of your loan. Fortunately, at Koppy Motors, we’ll work with you to get a good deal even if you have low credit.

Financing a car can seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. By following these steps, you can ensure you get a car you love without breaking the bank.
