3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the California regulator's licence list.
5. Look for an origination fee or prepayment penalty in the written disclosure.
6. Check that the monthly payment fits your budget next to your existing obligations.
7. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
