7 yrs is 84 months, so I'm correct at $497.

And I'm only a little off on APR. I used 3% APR in the math even though I said 5% APR. I did the math at 3% cause that's APR for normal 36 mo loans, then realized that the longer term loans (7yrs) have higher 5% APR, but forgot to update the calcs. The difference is only $800, so my error doesn't affect the numbers appreciably.
