When you buy your car, you, like the rest of us might need a loan, unless you have a few thousand dollars sitting around doing nothing. Yea, right !

So the car seller with have there finance companies in place to organise your loan. Most bigger dealers have their own finance department which is tied into a bank or a credit lending service. Smaller dealers will have access to smaller finance companies or no loan facilities at all.

Don’t Get Stacked Up-

Optional extras like window tinting, tow bars, extra warranties all add to cost of the car and the cost of the loan. Avoid them. Don’t get add-ons. Get them later and pay cash.

Study the Contract

Read your finance contract. Don’t sign it then and there. Take it away with you and read it at least ten times. Things like finance processing fees and fees to open you account should be avoided. These fees add to total cost of the loan.

Know your Interest Rate

Find out your interest rate and then go directly to the lender and ask if if it the lowest possible rate. Sometimes finance companies add an extra half percent or more to pay the car seller for using their service and recommending their loan.

Pay as much cash as you can with the deposit and never add the insurance for the car to the cost of the loan. This will increase your over-all cost substantially. Pay for this upfront.

Shop Around

You will pay more than car is worth with a loan, but it can be thought of as the cost of borrowing. Unfortunate but necessary if you need that car.Buy what you need and not what you want.
