It's one of the age-old questions: How much money should you provide as a down payment when buying a car? The answer to this question depends on a few things, so let's review!

Most customers can get approved for used car financing with as little as 10-20% down, but your credit rating influences the minimum amount the lender is willing to accept to secure the loan. Keep in mind that lenders like to see more money provided as a down payment when purchasing older vehicles with higher mileage, as these cars are considered a riskier asset against the loan.

Remember that the larger your down payment, the more equity you'll have in the vehicle you're purchasing. A more substantial down payment greatly reduces the risk of being "upside-down" on the car loan years later and means you get to own more of the vehicle sooner.
