Executive summary
The negotiated sale price is $31,416. The dealer is adding a $425 document fee, a $950 SafeGap waiver, and collecting $915.43 in Mississippi sales tax (2.875%). With $7,500 down, the amount financed comes to $26,206.43 at 5.29% APR over 60 months — $499.13/month and $3,741.37 in interest if held to term.
Because the car will be titled and registered in Alabama, you owe Alabama use tax, not Mississippi sales tax. Alabama gives credit for the Mississippi state tax already paid — but if Madison County's combined rate exceeds 2.875%, you'll owe the difference at the tag office. Registration must be done within 20 days of purchase.
There is no prepayment penalty. Interest accrues daily, so paying extra principal or refinancing through your bank meaningfully reduces the $3,741 finance charge. The $950 GAP waiver can be canceled within 30 days for a full refund — check whether your auto insurer offers GAP coverage at lower cost first.
