admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 07:02:43 +0000

When youâ??re setting out to buy a used car, whether this be from a private individual or a dealership, you will want to be able to finance the car.Â If you havenâ??t got the cash to hand, or a generous set of parents, the getting a loan to buy your first used car could be the option to you, and shouldnâ??t be a problem. However, you should look at some tips on buying such a used car with finance.In recent times, banks were not too cheery about giving a loan to just about anyone, but now they have relaxed their processed and understand that they need to supply loans and credit to people that donâ??t have good credit.Â You have probably received a few loan companies letters offering you a loan with them and getting some money for a car or other high value purchase. So, getting a loan to pay for a used car shouldnâ??t be an issue for you. Below are some quick tips that you should consider when looking for a company who will offer you a loan, as well as some other quick tips to get a great valued used car when you have chosen the one that you want.Internet for Car LoansThe Internet is a fantastic tool to research information and also to look for possible organizations who could provide you with a loan to buy your used car with. You will need to do a little bit of research on the internet for people who offer a loan either in your local area, or even a provider that is a well-known national chain who offers loans to the general public. There arenâ??t just sites of the loan companies that will be able to supply you information onÂ loans and rates, etc, as there are many different money related comparison websites which offer consumers a clear indication of where they can get such a loan and which will be the best rates for them to consider. You donâ??t even have to apply online if you donâ??t want, but the information from these websites will be valuable in making your decision and also when contacting the relevant company for a loan.Know Your Credit RatingThere is one main thing that you should seriously think of doing before you go to look for both information and apply to take out a loan, and that is to check your credit rating.Â You should at least have some information on your own credit worthiness, just so that you are aware of who you should be speaking to and which organizations wonâ??t even consider you for credit.Â When you are looking for good rates of interest and a low repayment amount, the ability of your strength of credit worthiness will more than likely sway people to consider whether or not you will be able to pay back the money that you are borrowing and whether you will be able to take out a loan.Bad Credit? You Can Still Get a Car LoanEven if you have a bad credit history, you will still be able to apply for and get a loan from a supplier.Â The interest rate and payment terms that are offered to you in the deal will most probably not be to your liking, but at least you will be offered a loan and able to get your used car. Also, you may be asked to place a down payment, or commonly termed a deposit, on the loan and prove that you will be able to pay the monthly repayment on the loan.Find That Great DealerMany dealers are very conscious that they want to make a bit more of profit and commission from the process of a loan for a used car buyer who needs to take on out.Â Therefore, different dealers will have contracts with different suppliers so that they will choose from say 5 companies when requesting a loan for you.Â They will also tend to know which certain companies will lend money to people with bad credit and be able to decipher which company will be the best one for you. You will likely find that a reputable dealer will do all that they can to find you the right loan that will be suitable to finance the car on and where they will receive an amount that they are happy with through commission from the loan company.Compare Rates and TermsThe first deal that comes your way from the dealer for purchasing the used car is to be rejected, this is because it is probably not going to be the best deal that you are going to get from them and they will be able to move about a little to clinch the deal with you. Everyone who goes to buy a product, such as a used car, has a choice of what they do accept, and this will not matter whether you have great credit or poor credit. There are many different money lenders who only want to deal with people who have bad credit, and are there to help you rebuild your credit, but at a higher cost than ,many of the other lenders. In the loans market, there is so much competition that each company is attempting to provide you with a better quote than the next, and you are then able to put one company off against the other.Â so too is the same with many dealerships â?? if dealers have similar cars in stock, but one has a higher price than the other, then you will be able to play one off against the other and secure a great deal.Check the fine printYou should make sure that you always check the fine print of any deals or contracts that you will be signing.Â You donâ??t want something, which was written at the bottom of your signature, to be the one point that you overlook which meant that your car couldnâ??t be fixed for an exorbitant rate.Â These things do happenÂ and you should check that everything is explained to you, both in the agreement with the dealer on purchasing the car, and also with the loan or finance company with who you are signing to take on the financial responsibility to pay the money back.

A New Car Loan From the Dealer is not Always the Best Choice for Your New Car Finance

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:04:43 +0000

When purchasing a new car it is always very easy to be swept away in the excitement of it all and want to take delivery as quickly as possible. To do this it is simply a matter of agreeing on the price of your new car and signing the necessary documents for a new car loan. All done and dusted. But just how much more have you paid for your new car and your new car loan because of your â??want it nowâ? approach? Probably more than you think. Car dealers can be very persuasive and once they feel you are sold on a car then there is little hope of a reduced price or a very competitively priced new car loan. Here are a few tips when you are looking for a new car: â?¢ Donâ??t go to the dealership with the expectation or desire to buy â??todayâ?. Check out the internet first to see just what the price range is for the vehicle you are looking for. â?¢ Speak to a mortgage broker or a lease broker to see what connections they may have with new car dealerships. Surprisingly, a mortgage broker can not only access good new car finance but also has negotiating â??cloutâ? with a number of new car dealerships. Most new car dealerships have monthly volume targets which when reached result in large bonuses being paid by the new car manufacturer. As a direct purchaser you will not be privy to this information but where the mortgage broker has built a good relationship with a new car dealership he or she will undoubtedly be able to negotiate a better new car price for you â?? unless of course there is a waiting list for the particular car you are after. Even in this situation you may find that you will be able to achieve a better price â?? a Sydney based client recently ended up purchasing a new car through a mortgage broker where the car was sourced out of Wollongong (dealer wanted the sale to reach his monthly target). The new car was delivered straight to her Sydney home. â?¢ If you are not absolutely set on a particular new car then find out what the re-sale value is of similar model cars when sold say 3 years later or at the expiration of your new car lease and new car loan. It is generally accepted that most new cars diminish in value by up to 15 % the moment you drive it out of the car yard. To ensure you retain value in your new car and that the residual value after 3 or 5 years under your new car loan will be met from the sale proceeds as a â??usedâ? car, it is imperative to check the sales history of the car / model/ manufacturer. It can be disheartening to find that when you eventually sell the car you do not realise a price that allows you to pay out the residual under the new car finance. â?¢ If your cash flow allows it, try and keep the residual to as low a figure as possible. This negates the likelihood of there being a shortfall between the used car sale price and the residual value under your new car loan. If you maintain your car well and have it serviced on a regular basis then there remains the possibility that when you come to sell you actually realise more than the residual value under the new car loan â?? this should be a non-taxable profit in your hands.

Low Interest Car Loans – Tips for Burden Less Finance

admin — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:33:39 +0000

When you are thinking of buying a car through a loan, your foremost concern should be the cost of borrowing the finance. The cost must remain low, so that your monthly outgoings are reduced. Low interest car loans are designed for the specific purpose of providing the finance at low rate and at fewer additional charges. But, these loans require you to fulfill certain conditions.

To avail these loans, your credit rating should be at acceptable level of 600, or above on FICO-scale. Such a rating is possible only when there are no or fewer blemishes like late payments, defaults or arrears in your credit report. If the rating is lower, then make efforts to improve it before applying for the loan. Pay off some debts to repair the rating.

To ensure the car loan at low rate, borrow the money against your home or any of your property. This way, you can reduce the risks for the lenders. You can borrow greater amount of loan, depending on value of the property. If you are a tenant or non-homeowner, then you can opt for the unsecured loan. However, interest rate will be kept lower only for borrowers, who have a good credit history.

Another way to avail low interest car loans is to make high amount of down payment to the lender. The down payment makes the loan safer for the lenders. Therefore, even bad credit history people can borrow the finance at cheap rate. You should save money for the down payments before applying for these loans.

Take advantage of growing competition in the loan business. Comparing number of offers of low interest car loans can give you access to a select list of the lenders who are providing the finance at desired rates and fewer additional charges.
