Whether you land on a brand-new Mazda model or something that has seen a bit of the South Carolina road, the finance team at Mazda of Columbia will be able to help you with whatever questions you have about the process of financing a vehicle.

Figuring Out Your Car Budget 

Whether you pick a new model or a used car, our staff understands that you may not have the full funds available to pay for it all at once. Mazda of Columbia offers several convenient tools that will allow you to figure out your exact budget, including a payment that you can afford to make each month. By utilizing our online payment calculator, you can take information such as estimated interest rate, down payment, and trade-in value to figure out how to get to the monthly sum you can afford. Do you have a vehicle you are looking to upgrade or sell? Our trade calculator will provide you with an estimated value for the trade or sale of your current car to our dealership, which will be confirmed via an in-person inspection by a member of our used car team. By deducting your cash down payment and trade-in value from the total cost of the car, you’ll be able to figure out just how much you will need to finance as part of an auto loan.
