The small print. What’s lurking in it?
Lender don’t want to help you you solve your problems. His main aim is to obtain best profits. So you have to take responsibility for protecting yourself as best you can. You’ve repaired your credit score and shopped around to get as many quotes as possible. Now read the small print for these car loans. Look past the good news and see how much the deal is going to cost you when the higher rates kick in later. Of cause there is no company that’ll help you for absolutely nothing. For that reason, you should seriously consider putting down a chunk of your own money as a deposit. Yes, I know that might be your emergency fund but, when you look at the cost of borrowing and the few cents interest you’ll earn on the cash on deposit, you’re probably better off borrowing less. The final act in this drama is with the car dealer. You’re negotiating a rebate on your current car, looking for a good package price. You know how much the other loans are going to cost. Now is the time to ask the dealer to beat the other offers.
