Guide 02 · payment

A smaller payment is not automatically a smaller deal.

Cash, finance, and lease offers answer different questions. Put the selling price beside the full obligation and the assumptions that make each payment possible.

Cash

Compare the cash-specific all-in selling price and its conditions. A finance-only incentive can make the finance selling price different from the cash selling price, so do not assume one advertised figure applies to every method.

Finance

Read the APR, term, frequency, number and amount of payments, down payment, amount financed, cost of borrowing, and total obligation together. The marketplace reconciles those fields mathematically and requires a credit-approval condition; it does not predict approval.

Lease

Read the APR, term, payment frequency, due-at-signing amount, annual kilometres, excess-kilometre charge, residual, and total obligation. Also ask the dealer about end-of-lease condition standards and charges; the comparison snapshot is not a lease contract.

Make the horizon explicit

Your likely ownership period, annual driving, upfront budget, and desire for flexibility change what “fit” means. The platform lets those preferences affect the default order while keeping every compliant offer visible and sortable.
