Frequently asked questions
Does a down payment always reduce CET?
It usually helps a lot, but final CET still depends on rates, term and contract fees.
Is it worth stretching the term to fit the installment?
Only if you also check total cost. A longer term eases the month-to-month burden but usually fattens total interest.
