MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Traded in a paid off 2013 Honda CR-V and got cash back on the deal (need cash right now, not a paid off car). Multiple lates from 6 years ago, plan to refi with DCU or NFCU in about a year when all lates fall off. I was using cash only 8 months ago when I started rebuilding. Currently at 47,500 total CL with 5% util. Also, I picked up the Maxcare extended warranty (6 year/75,000 miles) for $1500 because, well, it's a BMW, and I want it under warranty for the length of the loan.

MONTHLY PAYMENT: $268.87
ANNUAL INCOME: $45k
DEBT TO INCOME RATIO: Just rent, no other debt
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTARY: Applied over the phone and was told I was approved for a loan up to $14,500 at 6.74% over 65 months. When the loan docs were being finalized after I bought the car, the loan officer told me it was 6.74% for 48 months. I had nothing in writing to show I was told 65 months. I ended up at 7.49% for 65 months. I accepted it because this didn't add much to the monthly payment. Lesson learned. In the end, I got the car I wanted on reasonable terms and have a good start on achieving my financial goals.

Congrats on your approval. Are you aware that your BMW comes with a 50k/5yr warranty and maintenance?

I thought the Ultimate Service and warranty were for 4 years and 50k miles from the in-service date. Has this changed? (Haven't owned a BMW in a few years)

No, it hasn't changed but you still have a few years left. It's also possible to purchase an additional contract before your current coverage ends. You definitely want the maintenance coverage
