Common questions

Should I put all my savings into the down payment?

No. Keep a separate cushion for insurance down payments, registration, fuel and repairs in the first months. The startup cost calculator helps you see the full amount you need.

Where should I keep my down payment savings?

Somewhere separate from your everyday spending, so it's harder to dip into. Lenders may also ask for statements showing where your down payment came from.
