You borrowed to finance a purchase of car and now you are dying to pay off the loan as early as possible. Why not? It might just sound very attractive to get done with the loan earlier than it is actually scheduled for, but there are various potential constraints to this situation.

The longer the term of loan repayment, the better your lender will benefit from it because in this case he will earn interest for a longer period of time.
