Run away from these 96 months arrangements.
At the end of it you end up paying way more in interest and the car depreciates to point where it's worth less than what you've paid for the 96 months.
I would much rather suck it up and finance the payments over 36 months.

Possibly. People tend to choose the 96 months of financing to reduce their bi-weekly payments. But in the long run they end up paying more (in interest) and they have a car which has depreciated 8 years!
It's not a sound financial decision but to each their own.

Mine was bi-weekly for 36 months. Saved some money on interest and I have a car which has only depreciated 3 years as opposed to 8 years which means it's still worth something on a trade-in or sale.

Bi weekly gives U 26 payments per year ( 52 divided by 2 )... or 13 months
Monthly give you 12 payments...............................................12 months per year
Therefore over 3 years , Snoopster has saved 3 months interest
