How Much Is Your Car Payment?

Did you know that the percentage of car buyers paying more than $1,000 every month for their vehicle is higher than it has ever been. The average car payment for new and used vehicles combined is $643. The average monthly payment for a new car is $754. The average monthly payment for a used car is $533 We strongly advised you don’t extend your auto loan longer than 42 months. Longer terms may mean that you pay less every month, but you’ll pay more over the life of the loan. You’ll take on more debt, which could hurt your credit and severely limit your borrowing power. You risk becoming “upside down” on the loan, which means you could potentially end up owing more than it’s worth. At Car-Lotta we offer short terms loans usually 27-36 months. In many cases, our payments are lower than a normal car dealers and our loan process is quick and easy.

Did Your Car Start In This Cold Weather ?

Baby it's cold outside ! A weak battery that struggles to produce enough power in cold temperature in the freezing weather may be the reason. Cold weather significantly reduces a car battery's ability to hold a charge, making it harder to crank the engine. In cold weather, engine oil becomes thicker, which puts extra strain on the starter motor. If moisture gets into your fuel lines, it can freeze in extreme cold, preventing fuel from reaching the engine. If your car is getting older and it's possible that the starter is just getting too weak for the cold weather. You can try jump starting the your car. Warming up the battery by letting your car sit for a few minutes with the headlights on to provide a small charge to the battery Make sure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected. Turn the ignition key slowly and steadily, allowing the starter motor to engage properly If your car still won't start, contact your mechanic or roadside assistance service.
