Buying a car, a motorbike, a van or a motor home is one of the biggest and most important purchases many of us will make, second only to buying a home. It is therefore vital that you shop around for the best vehicle loan possible. It's not good to get locked in to paying for a vehicle for an extended period of time - it loses too much of its value for a long term loan to be a viable finance option. Remember that vehicles can depreciate quickly, so it's a good idea to pay off the loan over the short term. While the monthly payment may be higher, the interest over the life of the loan will be lower, so you'll pay less overall.
With a car loan, money is loaned for outright purchase of the vehicle that is paid back over a period including interest. The car is the property of the purchaser on buying.
Most car dealers will offer you a finance package on any vehicle you are looking to buy but don't just accept it .... shop around first.
You can also apply for car finance BEFORE you start to look for a car enabling you to guarantee funding and find the best deal for you in advance.
Where can I get a Car Loan or Vehicle Loan and is it right for me ?
Car loans can be and are often provided by the dealership you are buying the car from. They run the credit check, provide you with an interest rate that can pretty competitive but, as with any loan, check and compare before you accept.
Many many people purchases their car with a car loan, though the amount of the loan varies depending on how much money the individual provided as a down payment. Car loans are one of the primary forms of debt.
Car loans themselves are just like any other loan. A standard car loan is likely to have a moderate interest rate that is not as high as credit cards, and it covers the cost of the car. Interestingly, although dealerships plan on making money off their car loans, they are willing to offer lower interest rates because they are more interested in selling the car and making the profit than they are profiting off your debt.
However, if you have bad or no credit, that is when you need to be wary. Car dealerships that offer car loans to people with bad or no credit can, even when trustworthy, sometimes take advantage of your need for a car (very few people shop for a car because they simply want one – usually it is badly needed). These agencies may, for their own safety, ask for an incredibly high interest rate that if you badly need a car you are likely to agree to. Just because you may have a bad credit history doesn't mean you have to accept the first loan that's offered - shop around to get the best deal for you.
Of course it's not just car dealerships that offer car loans - there are thousands of financial institutions out ther competing hard for your business from high street banks and building societies, internet banks, and many online and shop based brokerages - use the search box above or check out some of the site ads. The golden rule is to shop around - you can do this in advance of making the purchase and, in that way, you can negotiate a car loan in principal and then shop around for the best deal on a vehicle knowing that the finance is guaranteed and any limits you have to adhere to.
Because car loans are essentially secured loans where your car is the collateral rather than the equity in your home, these companies can repossess your car if you do not make the payments. Often a specific car loan stipulates that you must purchase from a dealer (rather than a private purchase) and may also state a maximum age of vehicle.
A bad credit car loan is also possible but obviously interest rates may be significantly higher.
There are other ways to buy a car that you should also consider - a personal loan (secured or unsecured) will provide you with funding to buy any vehicle you wish (private or dealer), Hire Purchase or Lease Purchase may also be options.
