Why You Should Use a Payment Calculator
A payment calculator is a great start to figuring out what vehicle you can afford. It allows you to input information, which is used to calculate your monthly payments. You can adjust the terms to help you figure out different scenarios. A payment calculator will give you a good idea of how much you can afford, but it helps if you follow a few tips.
- Have an idea of the current interest rates. Put in multiple rates and see how they affect your payments.
- Value your trade-in and put the value as your down payment.
- Search The Bear Lot inventory and see the prices of vehicles you like.
When you're satisfied with the amounts you see, you can visit us to find your vehicle to drive around Andover and Shoreview.

We'll provide you with an instant cash offer that is valid for seven days. When you bring in your vehicle, we'll verify the information and give you the money in cash or apply it as a down payment.
Valuing your current vehicle helps you know upfront how much you can reduce the sticker price on a vehicle you like. You'll also reduce your monthly payments to make buying a newer car more affordable.
