Audi A3 Loan Calculator
Our Loan Calculator display shows you how your Audi A3 loan balance compares to the ongoing value of your vehicle. With financing, each monthly payment will reduce the balance of your loan. Unfortunately, during this same period, your vehicle's resale value will decline as well. The purpose of this tool is to show you how you can finance your A3 to ensure that your loan balance declines faster than the value of your vehicle.
With your results below, the goal is to have the shaded area be entirely green. This likely means that the value of your vehicle will always be greater than your loan balance. If you see yellow or red, your loan balance at some point will be at or above the value of your vehicle. You want to avoid this as we describe here. For the best financial outcome, adjust your loan terms, or choose a vehicle that doesn't depreciate as rapidly.
Refinancing an Auto Loan
Refinancing an auto loan means taking out a new loan to replace your current one, usually to get a lower interest rate or better terms. This can lower your monthly payments or save you money on interest over time. It's a good option if your credit score has improved or if interest rates have gone down, but it's important to make sure the benefits outweigh the costs. Use the form below to see the best rates available from reputable lenders instantly.
