Buying Power & Financing FAQs

How does the Buying Power calculator determine my vehicle price range?

The calculator balances your target monthly payment, financing term length, estimated APR, and your down payment or trade-in value to output an estimated purchase price ceiling.

Does using this calculator affect my credit score?

No. Using this payment affordability calculator does not initiate a hard credit pull or affect your credit score in any way. It is designed to help you plan your budget comfortably before applying.

What does Matthews Upfront Pricing mean for my monthly payment?

Upfront, transparent pricing. All prices clearly posted online and on the lot. You never have to "call for price." Because we never sell above MSRP and eliminate hidden administrative dealer markups, the figures you see online represent accurate figures you can take to the bank.

Can I roll my current vehicle trade equity into my calculation?

Yes. Any positive equity in your current vehicle serves the exact same role as a cash down payment, directly lowering your total financed amount and reducing your monthly commitment.
