How much should a car down payment be?
It is recommended to put at least 10% down on the purchase of a new or pre-owned vehicle, but as little as $500 can be sufficient in many cases. There is no harm in putting down as much as possible though, and we would suggest aiming for putting down around 20% to help lower your monthly payments.
You don't necessarily need to have this cash on hand though. If you are trading in a vehicle, the value of your trade-in will help cover most of, if not all, of your down payment.
If you are interested in having the lowest possible down payment, taking advantage of our affordable or no money down lease specials may be your best option. Check out our current lease offers today or contact us for more information.
