What is an auto loan amortization schedule?
It's a table showing each payment's breakdown between principal and interest, and the remaining loan balance after each payment.
How can I reduce my total interest paid?

Financial Tips
When financing a vehicle, remember that the total cost includes more than just the monthly payment. Consider:
Insurance costs
Maintenance and repairs
Fuel expenses
Depreciation of the vehicle
As a general rule, your total vehicle expenses (loan payment, insurance, maintenance, etc.) should not exceed 15-20% of your monthly take-home pay.
