I think that you are misunderstanding the financing. The reason that the payments are lower for a longer rate is because you are taking longer to pay off the loan. As a for instance, say the vehicle is $20,000. With a 36 month loan, the payment would be 20 x $27.78 = $555.60 per month for 36 months. The $27.78 is how much each $1,000 costs. This isn't a finance charge, this is just how long it would take to pay off $1,000 over 36 months. With the 60 month loan, it would be 20 x 16.67 = $333.40 per month for 60 months.
