Hi everyone and thanks for helping me out with the problems i have buying my 1st truck. I really don't know what I am getting into but Im tired of working as a driver and think its time to be an o/o. I have been searching for a truck since December and ended up finding a 2010 fl cascadia midroof (planning flatbed) dd15 10spd 505hp automatic ( have knee problems). Anyways; I am about to finance a truck which is priced $49.950 and I have $20k down payment . I'm having problem with calculating the interest rate which is (%26.59 48 months wtf!!!). I think I'm about to get screwed over and before I take a step I wanted to get your ideas. I know I don't have a good credit score but still there is something wrong. Here is the dealer's (lender's) calculation with fees and interest and etc etc....
$49950 trucks price plus
$150 document storage fee plus
$3995 200k miles warranty plus
$163 title fee plus
$400 GPS fee
Which comes out to
$54658 total
And $3000 out of my $20k down payment goes to "contract origination fee" so I basically left over with $17k down payment... OK... Lets do the math...
$54658-$17000=$37658
$37658+26.59%=$47671.2622 is supposed to be the total with interest... And I should have
$47671.2622 divided by 48 = $993.151295883 monthly payment...
But !!!
This is what the lenders calculation per month
$1282.39
If its like this I have interest around 60s...
What are your opinions about this and how does this rate is calculated? Thanks for your helpful and respectful opinions

I dont know about the numbers,but flatbed and knee problems!I see some of those guys tarp and chain,there is a lots of climbing involved.
mcdsobe, truckerlife74 and lmcclure1220 Thank this. -
You figured the interest wrong. It's 26% per year.
you could google an interest calculator
26% ??? Find a better bank, or wait til you have more money.blairandgretchen, lmcclure1220, rda2580 and 1 other person Thank this. -
My opinion is if you are not comfortable with it don't do it.
Now if i was you i would find out how the lender comes out with the monthly payment, by simply asking them. It seems to me that they either don't calculate all your down payment, or they add some other charges there.
Good luck.mcdsobe Thanks this. -

26 is crazy high with 20k down. Do you have any other options like a home equity load ?
mcdsobe Thanks this. -
Its a good point Sustanon thx but I'm leaving that problem for later...
Patronas01 , there's no other hidden stuff , just the rate brings the price to this high. As Tucker said , btw thx tucker it makes more sense now; its a yearly rate so I really don't know how it actually works but as I searched on the web I pay interest on interest. To get a better idea I don't know who to talk to but I'm planning to go to my bank in the morning and ask them to call the lender and get better info since I have no idea what I'm into. Also why I'm kinda OK with this rate because today I talked to the lender and she said I can pay this loan off anytime and there will be no fee for it. I'm planning to pay it off in 6 months which I believe I will be making enough to pay it off even with down time etc etc. Any other way you guys recommend? -
I haven't looked into that yet... Everything happened just today so I'm still in search
