My name's Adriel Torres and I'm the owner of ultimatecredittoday.com. When you purchase your vehicle the rate that you receive on that loan was based on your credit. A lot of automobile loans are based on past payment history if you had automobile loans before and that's how the rate is given to you. Another factor is the purchase price of the vehicle, how much money you're putting down and the term of the loan, whether it's a forty eight month or a sixty or a seventy two. So there are a lot of factors that are a part of that rate that you received when you bought your vehicle. Now to find out what all this information is you have to go to your bill of sale where you signed for the note of the vehicle where you're going to have all items itemized, your purchase price, the rate, the note, every thing will be on there. And that's how you calculate it or you figure out what they are. Again, my name's Adriel Torres. I'm the owner of ultimatecredittoday. com. Thank you very much."
