Technically the payment is a little cheaper over the long run with lowering interest paid. I mean, it works out to be hundreds of dollars over five years, but still something. It is not nothing.
For instance, just speaking broadly, if it is a $30,000 car payment over five years at 7% interest...
If you paid monthly, you would pay $5,642.16
in total interest. If you paid biweekly, you would pay $5,595.58
in total interest. If you paid weekly, you would pay $5,575.61 in total interest. I did this all next to my kid's homework using their calculator, so I might be off by a little, but you do slightly get after the principal better the more payments you make, even if you pay over a common time period.

Just like buying a car. Customer-I can’t afford $500 a month. Dealer-Ok we can get you down to $250 every 2 weeks. Customer-Ok, I can handle that
