Car Loan Query

Nacho · Post by **Nacho** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:21 pm

I actually paid for my FTO in full 6 years ago so never gone anywhere for a car loan before.

Anyone know of any good financial institutions that do a decent interest rate and term for a car loan?

I don't even know roughly what the current rate is in terms of car loans.

I wouldn't get car finance, rather go for a personal loan interest might be higher but it's better for you. a lot of fine print in car loans.

It depends on the purpose of the car loan, there are basically 6 different type of car loans.

*Operating Lease
*Finance Lease
*Commercial Hire Purchase
*Novated Lease
*Personal finance
*Secure Car finance

All with different rates, running cost and different tax claim benefit. So you need to tell us what you really after and whos actually financing the car (youself or your business or the company you working for)

Umm.....what?

Basically just wanna buy a car on private sale so I'm assuming that's personal. Just a daily driver I'm after and got nothing to do with business.

What's the rate on personal loans these days?

Hope that gives you more info.

Hahaha yeah you beat me to it dude. It would be nice to get some idea as there's heaps of people who do loans. Recent personal experience would be good.

Since you already got a home loan and going to get the car for personal use, then i suggest you re-draw from the equity. In that way you be on home loan rate, which are lower then the best personal loan rate.

Hey there's another option. Sounds interesting.

And Joe that's actually not a bad rate. I thought it was gonna be 15 or 16 percent or something ridiculous like that.
