------DETAILS------
Myth 1: Lowest monthly payment is always better
Lower monthly payment doesn't always mean less financing; APR and loan term impact total interest.

Myth 2: Loans with the same monthly payment cost the same in total interest
Different variables affect total interest despite identical monthly payments.

Myth 3: Loan amount includes interest
The amount of the car loan you borrow does NOT include interest. Interest is on TOP of the loan amount, which is the extra cost for lending you money.

Myth 4: Total interest you pay on a loan = the amount you borrow x the interest rate
