$1000 down shows you have incentive for wanting the vehicle, but personally, I would do at least $2000 down. As for payments, well, a factor that determines that is the APR the dealer sets through the bank and also the length of time you choose to make payments. The longer the time, the lower the payments will be each month, but you will pay more interest in the end.

I think you already asked this question

He is right, a Chevy Tahoe is a poor decision

BUT

If you get a 3 year loan your payments would be about $130 to $150 depending your interest rate

But if you're having trouble making the correct decision it sounds like a loan officer hasn't lined this out for you, you're planning on going to some used car lot with $1000 and planning on driving off in the 99 Tahoe that says 5150 on the front. so you'll be paying 20% interest? and that vehicle came straight from auction?

Buying a Tahoe is the worst decision you can make.

Not enough information to answer your question.

Enough down for whom ?

I could buy it for nothing down. Someone with no credit might need $3500 down and pay $6500.
