Volvo Financing FAQ

Volvo financing is a broad term that encompasses everything from car loans and leases to down payments and trade-in valuations. With so many things to consider, it’s good to know that Volvo Cars Gilbert offers expert financing support to its customers. This includes answering all of your questions so that you can enjoy a headache-free car shopping experience.

What Is a Car Lease?

When you lease a car, you “own” it for a finite period of time, typically three years. When the lease ends, you can extend the lease, buy the car, or walk away. Benefits of a Volvo lease include lower monthly payments, a low (or even no) down payment, and the flexibility to drive a brand-new model every few years.

How Does a Trade-in Work?

Doing a vehicle trade-in with us is easy, and a great way to make your next vehicle more affordable. You can start the process by visiting our website, clicking the “New cars” tab, and then clicking “Trade-In value”. Fill out and submit the form on the page and a representative will be in touch shortly to start the process of giving you fair market value for your car.

How Is an Interest Rate Calculated?

Several factors influence the interest rate for a car loan. Three of the most important are the size of the down payment, the length of the financing term, and the buyer’s credit history. The higher the down payment, the shorter the financing term, and the better the credit history, the lower your interest rate will be for a new Volvo car.

What Does “Equity” Mean?

“Equity” is intertwined with value. In other words, take what your car is currently worth, subtract how much you still owe on it, and the remaining balance is the equity. “Positive equity” is when you owe less than the car’s value, whereas “negative equity” is when you owe more than the vehicle’s assessed value.

Can I Refinance My Car Loan?

Refinancing your car loan is certainly possible, as long as you’re not underwater on the loan. The best time to consider refinancing is when interest rates have dropped. Refinancing can provide an opportunity to lower your monthly payment and/or the total interest you owe.
