o.k., I'll be brave and guess first. I say the average down payment is about 5%, the average length of term 5 yrs. and the average payment $380.00. Can't wait to see how far off I am! Gina

we don't care for monthly payments here, and we like to collect interest, not pay it. smile

OK, are you ready? The average downpayment was $3772.00, which I would guess to be about 8.5%. Average length of term was 58 months. 18 months for a low to 84 months for a high. Average interest rate was 6.442%. From a low of 0% on a few new vehicles to 15.67% for a few low credit score folks. Average payment was $539.08. Lowest payment was $62.00. The highest payment which doesn't count some $6000 to $6700.00 semi-annual farm plan payments was $986.00.

Average payment was $539.08.

I really had no idea. Have paid cash (plus trade in) for my vehicles since my mid 20's.

We may be a little higher than some as we sell lots of heavy duty trucks to farmers and oil field folks, but that's what it is here. Cash is the way to go, but today's microwave mentality won't allow the patience to save money for a car.
