How much does it cost to finance a used car: real payment examples

How much does it cost to finance a used car: real payment examples

What changes the payment most

Three things: the amount you finance, the term and the interest rate the lender applies, which in turn depends on the amount and the car's age. With more months the payment goes down, but you pay more interest overall.

Examples with real figures

These examples use Confía's terms of 15/10/2026, with no down payment, the 5 % opening fee financed and the ownership transfer added to the amount. They are indicative and approval is up to the lender.

  • 6.000 € car (year 2012): 6.150 € financed over 96 months, payment of 110,31 €, TIN 13,49 %, APR 16,06 %. Total amount payable: 10.589,76 €.
  • 10.000 € car (year 2015): 10.250 € over 108 months, payment of 172,59 €, TIN 13,49 %, APR 15,91 %. Total amount payable: 18.639,72 €.
  • 15.000 € car (year 2017): 15.250 € over 108 months, payment of 225,35 €, TIN 9,99 %, APR 11,87 %. Total amount payable: 24.337,80 €.

To see the effect of the term: the same 10.000 € car over 60 months comes to 247,59 € a month (TIN 13,49 %, APR 16,87 %), with a total amount payable of 14.855,40 €.

With a down payment, a lower payment

If you pay part in cash, or trade in your car, you finance less and the payment goes down. Value your car with no obligation.
