Finance payments

To calculate how much you will pay per month to own a top-end Ford Ranger Stormtrak, we used the R846,500 price tag of the 4×4 version.

• Payment Term – 60 terms (5 years)
• Interest – 9%
• Deposit – 10%
• Balloon – No balloon payment
• Extras – No optional extras

The result is a finance payment of R15,900 per month.

The total amount of interest paid over the agreement is R187,300.

We can also use the same formula to work out how much finance payments are for the more affordable 4×2 version of the Ranger Stormtrak – which sells for R790,300.
