In reply to The thrifty Canuck. One thing to keep in mind with car loans in the US is that they’re not like mortgages: you don’t save money by paying them off early. With a mortgage if you make extra payments, you’ll actually wind up paying them fewer dollars. With typical car loans, when you’ve signed the paper, you’ve agreed to pay them the full amount of whatever you borrowed plus the finance charge (the interest × the length of the loan).
