Automobile companies have discovered that 0% financing promotions are one of their most effective sales tools. Print ads and television commercials abound with offers of “0% APR” on new models. Sounds great, doesn’t it? The idea is to attract buyers for new cars by making it appear that compared to used cars, they will save money on financing. However, almost all 0% financing offers provide multiple options for the consumer. The ads reads like “0% financing for three years or a specified amount of cash back.” The amount of cash back depends on the model, with expensive models receiving larger rebates. Further inquiries reveal that if you desire a longer loan, that option is also available for a reduced interest rate of 1.9% or 2.9%. Which option is best for you as an automobile buyer? Should you (a) take the cash back, (b) take the 0% offer, or (c) take the longer-term loan at a reduced interest rate.
The answer of course is—it depends.
