Use Your Tax Return as a Down Payment

One of the best ways to utilize the extra cash for a vehicle is to use your tax return as a down payment. Doing this shows that you are committed to the purchase, even if you have bad credit. The stress of having to wait months to save enough cash goes away. In addition, the larger the down payment, the less you’ll have to pay every month. Of course, you should always make sure that you can afford the monthly payments before making this investment.

Put Your Tax Refund Towards a Car Loan

Perhaps you are still paying off that four-year car loan of your current vehicle. A great way to reduce the principal and the interest of your current loan is to put your tax refund towards it. You’ll get the car paid off sooner and you’ll save money for it in the end.
