20/4/10 Rule for MAZDA Financing

Mazda Financing

The thrill of navigating open roads in a brand-new Mazda car is unmatched. But before you hit the gas, our Mazda financial team at Sentry West Mazda is reviewing the 20/4/10 rule to help you make the best decision and ensure your budget stays in tip-top shape.

What is the 20/4/10 Rule? 

The 20/4/10 rule can be thought of as a blueprint for responsible car financing designed as a simple framework to guide your budget. Here's how it works: 

  • Aim for a 20% down payment. The larger the down payment, the lower your loan amount, which means smaller monthly payments and less interest accrued. A Mazda trade-in can help you reach this goal. 
  • Limit your loan term to four years. Shorter terms mean less interest and faster ownership of your new Mazda car.
  • Keep all car-related expenses, meaning your monthly payment, insurance, and fuel, under 10% of your monthly income. This will help make sure your new car fits into your budget without unwanted financial strain.
