How borrowing works locally

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term.

A longer amortisation lowers each payment and raises the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.
