Should You Refinance Your Car Loan?

Financing is often necessary when you’re buying a car, as most people don’t have the funds to pay for the vehicle in full. When you initially borrowed money to purchase your vehicle, you probably weren’t over the moon about putting yourself in debt. A car loan locks you into monthly payments and can come with high interest rates that result in your paying thousands of dollars more than the car is worth. Unlike the saying, “all things get better with time,” auto loans typically result in the borrower paying more money as time goes on. They might have to make excessive monthly payments for an

Though “modern” may be a bad choice of words. The Polestar 3 Looks Fantastic In case you missed it: “The hard truth is, since 1949, there’s only one response the U.S. has planned for.

Scout’s Body-on-Frame Electric SUV and Pickup Take Aim at Rivian

Scout’s Body-on-Frame Electric SUV and Pickup Take Aim at Rivian

From the May 2023 issue of Car and Driver. When Volkswagen announced in May 2022 that it had acquired the rights to the long-dead Scout nameplate to build electric vehicles for the U.S., our inner monologue was: “Okay. Take a drag. Let’s see where this goes. Exhale.” If Scout’s plan comes together, groundbreaking on a South Carolina assembly plant will happen later this year, we should see the first prototype SUV in 2025, and customer deliveries will commence in late 2026. Underneath the stubby and undeniably International Harvester Scout–inspired styling, you’ll find a lot of VW Group
