Can you get a car loan for 10 years?

I have my eye on a Ford Mustang. I’ve always driven cars until they die, so I’m not worried about getting a long-term car loan. Low monthly payments are also high on my priority list. Do lenders offer a 10-year car loan?

While 72- and 84-month
car loans
are becoming more popular, you may struggle to find a 10-year loan (120 months). However, some lenders offer a 120-month to qualified buyers.
Even if you have the intention of driving the car until it dies, 10 years is a long time to own a car. Accidents can happen or the car may die, leaving you holding the bag. So while you’re getting low monthly payments, a 10-year loan also has some drawbacks:
  • You’re
    upside down
    on the car loan for a lengthy time.
  • Your car will outlive the warranty, leaving you on the hook for any repairs.
  • Your interest rate will be much higher, and you’ll pay more interest over the life of the loan.
  • Your lender will require you to have full coverage car insurance, regardless of how many miles you have on the car or the actual cash value of the vehicle.
