    Just out of curiosity, does the phrase "confession of judgement" appear anywhere in the loan agreement?

    Can any loan company charge that kind of interest rate? 40 % seems a bit steep to me. Is that even legal.

    What would you have done with 20k?
    No one seemed to want to give me a loan so I used my money and their lender. Should I have went somewhere like loan mountain?
    I'm a new start up. And it wasn't about a shiny truck...the chrome does shine but it a plain truck nothing flashy.
    I bought it for features I wanted in a truck..pre emissions being one of them.
    My loan term is 48 months

    You're obviously asking the wrong person that question :)

    Financing your semi truck can help start or grow your business. But it’s wise to consider the costs, which are largely due to interest rates. Current rates on a truck loan typically stay in the 6 percent to 35 percent lane but can get as high as 99 percent depending on your credit.

    And his actual rate is around 25%, which seems normal for his credit score.
    Very few can obtain a loan under 15% these days.
    You should also be aware of if a truck was selling for 100K 2 years ago, now it's like half of that.

    Your numbers say $2164 a month for 36 months. That comes to almost $78k. Unless the inputs are wrong, this is the correct math.
