APR is the real price of borrowing
APR (annual percentage rate) reflects your interest plus certain fees, expressed yearly. A lower APR means the loan costs less. Two loans with the same monthly payment can have very different APRs and total costs.
Why the term matters
Stretching a loan to 72 or 84 months lowers the monthly payment but raises the total interest you pay — and keeps you upside-down longer. A shorter term costs more monthly but less overall.
Do the total-cost math
Multiply the monthly payment by the number of months to see what you actually pay, then subtract the car price to see the interest. That number, not the monthly, is what you are really signing up for.
