How borrowing works locally

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
