Total Interest Cost Comparison
Choosing the right term matters. Here's the total interest paid at 6.9% APR for a $12,000 golf cart:
| Term | Monthly Payment | Total Paid | Total Interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 months | $370 | $13,320 | $1,320 |
| 48 months | $286 | $13,728 | $1,728 |
| 60 months | $237 | $14,220 | $2,220 |
| 72 months | $204 | $14,688 | $2,688 |
| 0% / 60 months | $200 | $12,000 | $0 |
The 0% APR promotion saves $2,220 in interest compared to 6.9% / 60 months on a $12,000 cart — more than most price negotiations would yield.
Down Payment Impact
Making a down payment reduces both monthly payments and total interest:
For a $12,000 cart at 6.9% APR / 60 months:
- $0 down: $237/mo, $2,220 total interest
- $1,000 down: $218/mo, $2,040 total interest
- $2,000 down: $198/mo, $1,860 total interest
- $3,000 down: $178/mo, $1,680 total interest
If you have a trade-in, the appraised value functions as a down payment reducing your financed amount.
