Car Financing 101

On January 23, 2012, in Credit and Credit Repair, by Laura S. Merolos

You may well be looking to purchase a new vehicle – that is a new or additional vehicle for yourself or for family transportation. Perhaps you need the auto to drive yourself to work. Having a reliable car , truck or S.U.V. can solidify your income in place , or even allow you better employment for more pay. Hence you can justify financing that automobile product in order to purchase a better of more reliable product. What do you need to know as a consumer in order to negotiate a better auto finance credit deal be it new or used , Honda , Toyota , Chevy or Ford motor product. Get the best deal on the street.

How can you get the best deal when it comes to an auto or car loan. First of all – it at all possible stay away from “monthly payments”. Monthly payments can go on for years and years as people extend the payment time frame. After all other costs and charges in your life are bound to come up. Secondly pay close and clear attention to any numbers , apparent facts and assumptions as well as spurious auto industry finance terms and definitions.

The second point experts advise on is to make sure about the value of the vehicle before you buy and compare the price with reliable guides such as the TMV of Edmunds’. It is also a good idea to take a copy with you when shopping for a car.

Extended warranties are they a good idea ? It is certainly a good idea and profit maker for auto dealerships. Stay clear of these as a rule. If the product is not good enough to stand on the automotive manufacturer’s initial warranty is it a good and adequate purchase in the first place .

In this day and age you are not limited to retail auto sales or dealership finance terms and products. You can purchase your vehicle online – be it from a dealer , or from any of the online internet classified boards – be it Auto Trader, Kijiji , Craig’s List or eBay. You can arrange financing ahead of time at your bank , credit union or even online by filling out a credit app from reputable loan agencies and services of fine repute and financial reputation and standing. Its always best to plan ahead , ask for your quotes and do your shopping ahead of time. This way you will be in the “driver’s seat”, when it comes time to negotiate credit terms , costs and charges. Most people seem to leave things always to the last minute. Lat minute shoppers , and in this case those seeking auto credit and finance generally get the worst deals since they are almost cornered in their quest of auto finance and credit , have few other options and are in rush to complete the deal and get it over with by now. Shop around. Plan ahead.

If one last point can be made – Its you who pays the price not the salesperson or credit app agent. Stick to your guns, insist on your terms until you get the key to your car , the automotive title on your terms not theirs. Its all about money ,and the final total cost to you and your pocketbook.
