Before I left my house for the dealer my calculations were only $0.22 less a month than what the final payment came to be... I had put the #'s into a couple of payment calculators like on vehix.com or or one of the dealerships websites because I don't know exactly how the interest rate applies. It isn't just total financed plus 4.9% divided by 60 otherwise it would have been $149.xx a month...

Price of Car was $20289
Tags and License $211
5% MD sales tax $1025
Down Payment $13000
total finance $8525
The best rule of thumb on payments is that for every 1000 you finance for 60 mo with average credit you pay 20.00 a month. So yeah with the actual OTD that you just itemized....(and OTD means Out the Door....all taxes and fees inlcuded) then your payment is right.....so good job.
