The negotiated price before tax, fees and trade-in.
Your equity: the trade-in offer minus anything still owed on that car.
Assumed to be financed with the car.
Monthly payment$588.49
Amount financed$29,720.00
Total interest$5,589.50
Taxable amount$32,000
Sales tax$1,920.00
Total of loan payments$35,309.50
Cash and trade-in up front$8,000
Total cost of the car$43,309.50

Amount financed = $35,000 price + $1,920.00 tax + $800 fees − $5,000 down − $3,000 trade-in. Sales tax is charged on the price minus the trade-in, as most states do; a few, such as California, tax the full price — tick the box above if yours does.
