How your Chevy or Buick payment is calculated
Four numbers drive the payment. The price minus your down payment and trade equity is what you finance. Pennsylvania adds 6% sales tax (7% in Allegheny County, 8% in Philadelphia) on the price after your trade-in, which is why a trade lowers your tax as well as your loan. The APR and the term then set the monthly figure; a longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises total interest.

Common questions · Updated September 2026
What will my car payment be?
Your monthly car payment is set by five numbers: the vehicle price, your down payment, your trade-in equity, the APR, and the loan term. A larger down payment or trade lowers it; a longer term lowers the monthly figure but raises total interest. The payment tab above estimates yours.
How much is car sales tax in PA?
Pennsylvania vehicle sales tax is 6% of the taxable price statewide, 7% in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), and 8% in Philadelphia, per the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. A trade-in reduces the taxable amount, since PA taxes the price after your trade allowance.
Is it better to lease or buy a car?
Leasing usually means a lower monthly payment and a new vehicle every few years, but no ownership, no equity, and mileage limits. Buying costs more per month yet builds equity you keep. The lease vs buy tab compares both on your own numbers.
How much is my trade worth?
Your trade's cash worth is its current market value minus what you still owe, which is your trade equity. If you owe more than it's worth, that negative equity rolls into the new loan. A free appraisal at Crivelli confirms the real number; call 724-547-2200.
What credit score do you need to buy a car?
There is no fixed minimum; buyers finance across the full credit range, and score mainly affects the APR you're offered, per Experian's tier data. Crivelli offers pre-qualification with no hard credit impact, so you see your rate before you shop. Call 724-547-2200.
Is this my actual payment?
It's an estimate for planning. Your real payment depends on the exact vehicle, your credit, current incentives, and lender approval. Call Crivelli at 724-547-2200 for the exact out-the-door number.
