When I bought my car I asked if I paid more than my payment will the amount decrease? They said no it will stay the same all the way till it's paid and I was like okay that sounds right. But...Ive been paying like 20 or 30 more a month just to see and its been dropped by like 10 bucks every month for the past 2 months. Any ideas?

Maybe they are just taking that extra pay and deducting it off next months payment? What happen if you just pay the nominal amount for the next 2 months?

How much is the interest you'll accumulate if you wait until next month?

If I pay off now, I pay $2.54 more....WTF
It's possible you made a couple payment a day or two late in the past and as soon as you pay $334.79 on 2/13/2011, you will get another bill for $9.50 that you have to pay in order to get your title. I remember long, long, long time ago (haha) when I had a car payment it didn't square in the end either. I dunno for sure, maybe there is really a mistake.

Keep paying overage otherwise the small monthly payment means you are paying less interest and later, you payment might go back. This is for a simple interest loan. Rather than paying a few extra buck, you might try making your payments earlier if you can. Several days or a week make a difference depending on where you are in the loan and how much your payment.

Assuming the two cars had the same sales price, guess who pays the less in the long run? Time to reconsider obscene.
