The term decision on a $25,000 loan
The spread between 48 and 72 months at 7% is $172 a month, which is exactly why dealers lead with the longer term: the payment looks friendlier while the total interest climbs from $3,735 to $5,688. The longer term also keeps you underwater on the car longer, since vehicles lose value fastest in the first years while a 72-month balance falls slowly. A useful discipline is to pick the shortest term whose payment you can hold comfortably, rather than the longest one the lender will approve.

Frequently asked questions
What is the monthly payment on a $25,000 car loan?
At 7% APR over 60 months, $495 a month. The same amount over 48 months is $599, and stretching to 72 months lowers it to $426. Your rate depends on credit score, and new cars typically price below used.
Is a 72-month loan on $25,000 a bad idea?
It costs more and carries more risk. At 7%, the 72-month term pays about $5,688 in total interest against $3,735 over 48 months, a difference of $1,953, and the slow early payoff means more time owing more than the car is worth. The longer term only makes sense when the lower payment is genuinely the difference between affording the car or not.
Does this include sales tax and fees?
No, the table prices exactly $25,000 financed. Sales tax, title, and dealer fees either add to the amount borrowed or come out of pocket at signing. The calculator alongside has fields for tax, down payment, and trade-in so you can price the full deal.
