Car loans are agreements to make monthly payments in exchange for the money needed to buy a new or used vehicle. Most loans carry interest, meaning the amount beyond the vehicle's price that the lender charges to provide you the cash; interest is like the price of getting someone else's money. In most loans, the interest is paid back first, before the "principal" -- the price of the vehicle.
