What does financing a $35,000 vehicle look like in New Mexico?
On a $35,000 vehicle with $5,000 down and a 6.5% APR for 60 months: your loan amount is $30,000, resulting in a monthly payment of approximately $587. Total interest is $5,219. New Mexico's 4% MVET adds $1,400, bringing total cost to approximately $41,619.
