\"car<\/a>In an ideal world we all want to be debt-free<\/a>. Of course, borrowing money is something that we all should approach with caution. However, when it comes to living a real life, very few of us will be able to escape borrowing money. This is especially true for large purchases. A car can be one of those big purchases. However, unless you’re willing to ride a bicycle or save money in your sock, you may need an alternative way to finance it.<\/p>\n

Getting a car loan can seem a straightforward process but there are a few things you should consider. It’s very easy to fall in a trap and take a larger commitment than you can actually afford.<\/p>\n

The majority of car loan calculators found on the web are very optimistic. They will ask you to enter your monthly or yearly income to estimate how much you can afford to borrow.<\/p>\n

A Real-Life Example<\/h3>\n

It all seems cut and dried, but there is a catch. For example, let’s assume your yearly income is $40,000 and your spouse’s is $25,000. Many calculators will estimate that you can afford a monthly repayment of $830 (which comes to approximately $10,000 per year). However, many experts recommend that you keep your auto loan spending under 10% of your household income. So, if your total household income is $65,000 per year, it is more sensible to spend less than $6500 on finance. That’s $540 in monthly repayments.<\/p>\n

By staying under that 10% threshold, you’ll find living more comfortable and less stressful. Once armed with this simple information, you can then proceed with looking for a deal that offers you the best APR and repayment rates.<\/p>\n

There are a number of different sources that you can look to in order to finance a car; each have their pros and cons. Here is a brief summary of the four most common car loan alternatives:<\/p>\n

Bank Loans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting a car loan from your bank is probably one of the most common ways to finance a car. Banks traditionally offer personal loans so that cars can be purchased, and these have a fairly reasonable APR. The procedure isn’t very complicated. Bank loans are usually secured, which means you’ll have to use your home or the car as a security. You also typically need to have a very good credit rating.<\/p>\n

Car Dealership Loans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dealers are often associated with a particular loan company, and they can help to negotiate a better rate — although that’s not guaranteed as some dealers are quite greedy. As such, these types of car loans often have a very high annual percentage rate<\/a> (APR).<\/p>\n

Brokers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You don’t actually get financing from a broker; instead the broker compares offers from different lenders and then he presents you with a contract. Using a middleman may sound intimidating. However, in many cases this option can be rewarding, as brokers can sometimes help you to get a better deal on your car loan than either banks or dealerships. On the downside, you’ll have to pay the broker a fee in order to find you a loan, and this can be costly.<\/p>\n

Online Loans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Online lenders can supply you with a low-cost car loan, which you can then use to purchase the car and obtain the necessary insurance. There are so many of these companies operating through the Internet that it’s likely you’ll find some company to take you on — no matter how bad your credit<\/a>, or how much you need. On the downside, some online lenders aren’t legal, and they may be trying to con you. There is also a greater risk of these companies going bust, and then your debt will be sold to collectors. To avoid scams, it is essential that you research the company’s background, check online reviews, and make sure the online lender is registered with a relevant registry that governs lending companies.<\/p>\n

When you do finally commit to a car loan, be prepared to make regular repayments for three to five years. This is not something you’ll want to do on a whim. After all, proper planning and budgeting is always the first step when planning to buy a new car.<\/p>\n
