Tax is charged on the price plus fees minus your trade-in, as at most dealers. BC charges extra PST on vehicles over $55,000, and private sales are taxed differently in several provinces — check before you sign.

Frequently asked

Is tax charged on my trade-in?

At most dealers, tax is charged on the price minus your trade-in, which saves you the tax on the trade-in value. The calculator does it that way.

Bi-weekly or monthly?

Bi-weekly payments (26 a year) pay the loan down a little faster and cost a little less interest than monthly.

Why does a longer term cost more?

Lower payments, but you pay interest for longer — compare 60 and 96 months to see the difference.
