Hints and Tips

Handy tidbits of information you should know before taking on a motor loan

Straight Arrow Decide what type of motor loan is going to suit you best. Look at all the options, interest rates, period of repayments and so on. Also, the cheapest option may not neccessarily be the best option when taking out a motor loan. Seek additional advice from motor loan companies before making a decision.


Straight Arrow Always do a budget plan before taking out a motor loan. You may feel comfortable in that you can afford to pay back for that new car, but what happens if something unexpected happens like an expensive medical bill ? Be prepared and make additional compensation for when the unexpected happens.

If you are unclear on the repayments, ask questions!

Straight Arrow Shop around and compare interest rates (APR). You might think that there is little to choose, you would be wrong in thinking so! Take your time when choosing your motor loan, and ALWAYS get quotes from several companies before taking our your motor loan.

Straight Arrow Go over the contract several times before making your decision and make sure that you understand the ins and outs. All motor loan contracts vary and it is important that you take the time to do that initial "homework" so that you can avoid making common mistakes and running into problems early on.

Straight Arrow Read the motor loan contract terms and conditions thoroughly and make sure you fully understand it. Sometimes this can read like chinese, so get help from an expert like your motor loan lender who will be able to talk you through it.

Straight Arrow We all run into financial difficulty from time to time. Don't be embarassed about it and take no action. If you do, it may well end up costing you more in the long run.

Straight Arrow Motor loan debts do not go away – they will hang around until you do something about it and cost you additional expense.

Straight Arrow Find out the charges should you accidentally miss a payment. In some cases these additional fees can sky-rocket if you don't make payments on your motor loan on time. If you are unsure, ask your motor loan lender.

Straight Arrow If your debts spiral out of control, seek assistance from any number of financial institutions, starting with your own lender or bank.

Straight Arrow Why not purchase the vehicle for cash rather than taking out a motor loan ? You will not only save on repaying the interest, but also on the repayments which means you are completely debt free!
