When you're shopping for a vehicle, it's easy to be dazzled by dealers who offer "only $99/week" type of advertising. After all, most people shop for vehicles based on their ability to make individual payments rather than the total price of the vehicle.

While it may be tempting to jump on low monthly or weekly car payments, this strategy has numerous drawbacks. The longer the term the vehicle is financed, the more interest you'll pay overall. Why put more money in the lender's pocket?
Another disadvantage of long-term loans is the risk of being underwater for longer. Called "negative equity" or "upside down," you can easily find yourself in a position where you owe more on the vehicle than it is worth.
If you ever have a car accident and your vehicle is written off, your insurance may not pay out the amount owing, only its current value. You could end up in a situation where you have no car but are still making payments.
Having a long-term loan on your vehicle is like having a mortgage on your car. Once you're ready to trade vehicles, you'll still owe money on it. This eliminates the flexibility you thought you had when you opted for lower payments stretched across a longer term.
