CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

What are the catches with 0% APR offers?

Common catches include strict credit requirements, shorter terms that raise the monthly payment, limited eligible models or trims, and giving up a cash rebate you'd otherwise receive. Sometimes the vehicle price is less negotiable on those models. None of these make it a bad offer, but compare the total cost with and without the promotion. Always confirm the offer applies to the exact vehicle and that it's reflected on the final contract.
