What's the longest you are allowed to stretch out a car loan?

I've heard of 6 years?

Is it possible to go longer?

Longest I've seen is 7 years, but it's rare.

84 is longest (even though I had a customer finance with navy federal at 96 months, which might as well be an eternity). But both cases would be have to be strong/decent established credit and $35k+

Maybe he makes more than you think he does. Maybe he leased it. Worrying about other people's purchases just to act superior is pretty lame.

Not sure this needs to be done on the money board, but inb4guessweknowwhoOPwastalkingabout

Actually 144 month financing is available, unless you're buying a sure to appreciate collector car, its incredibly silly

These guys will get you in that 12 year loan for 6.99%, what a deal

The fact that you would ask that question has me very concerned for your financial future.

Expect a whole bunch of snobby responses no matter why you are asking the question

In light of you not reading the thread, it certainly is.

You're wanting a mortgage of a car note?

What is the recommended length? I've seen comments that say with interest rates so low get a longer loan and just make the minimum payments. I've also seen people say to not bother putting much down.

I'm anticipating buying a new car/truck 18-24 months from now. I was planning on walking in with 15-20k to put down on a 35-40k car?

Is this a dumb move?

With rates as low as they are, why not stretch it?

It depends on your financial discipline. If you're going to use the extra cash flow to fund IRAs and are borrowing below 3%, it's a great idea.

I you're going to piss away the difference, stay short.
