If you are uncomfortable with dealer having your money - pay an attorney a few hundred bucks to do your transaction.

The Rule of 78 requires the borrower to pay a greater portion of interest in the earlier part of a loan cycle, which decreases the potential savings for the borrower in paying off their loan.
There are others.
