MAZDA Finance: Can You Reduce Your APR?
Here at Scott Mazda, we believe the Mazda finance process should be easy and accessible for every driver. That’s why we offer helpful tools for finding terms that fit your needs and share everything you need to know about the financing process. Here’s a closer look at your APR (annual percentage rate) and how you can reduce it.
Raise Your Credit Score
Your credit score can significantly affect your financing terms and options. If you’re interested in reducing your APR, it’s important to improve your credit score first. You can do this by reducing the amount of debt on your cards, meeting payments regularly, or even allowing time to pass from the last hard inquiry on your credit score.
Pay Off a Little Extra
A few factors to consider during the vehicle financing process include down payment, monthly payment, and APR. If you pay more than your monthly payment or pay specifically toward the principal balance rather than just accrued interest, then the total cost of the loan will be lower. That means the costs you pay in APR are lower. It also means you have more leverage for refinancing.
Begin the Refinance Process
Before you consider refinancing, you’ll want to gain leverage. That means increasing your credit score and paying down the principal, among other things. With a good payment history, your lender may be willing to adapt your loan terms and conditions, so it’s best to refinance at least after the halfway point of your loan.

What Voids Your MAZDA Warranty?
With the support of the Mazda service team here at Scott Mazda, you’ll be able to protect and maintain your car or SUV for a long time to come. Because comprehensive warranties cover our vehicles, you can also get the care and service you need without breaking the bank. That said, it’s useful to know what practices to avoid, so you don’t accidentally negate your warranty coverage, including the ones that follow.
Driving in Tough Terrain
Our vehicles are designed to handle snow, ice, and gravel, but it’s best to avoid heading into the wilderness in your new Mazda. True off-roading can put a severe strain on your suspension, alignment, tires, and more, and evidence of extreme off-road driving can void a warranty.
Overloading the Tow
If you’re on the search for tow-ready rides, you’re sure to love our powerful Mazda SUVs. However, checking the manual before loading up is important to ensure you’re not trailering too much weight for the vehicle. Improper towing or towing overweight loads can both void your warranty coverage.
Natural Disasters
Disasters happen. Unfortunately, the effects of natural disasters, such as flooding or fire, will not be protected under warranty coverage. In many cases, these conditions can total the vehicle, meaning the cost of repairs is higher than the car’s value, so try to get your vehicle to a safe location, if possible.
Substandard Parts
Here at Scott Mazda, we pride ourselves on using high-quality Mazda parts for repairs and replacements. While third-party aftermarket parts may be more affordable at the onset, some suffer from improper fit and finish that can actually damage your vehicle. Damage stemming from third-party parts or accessories will void your warranty.
