Choosing a better car loan

Friday September 19, 2008

Car loan refinancing can sometimes mean moving to a better deal than the first car loan you take out, but be sure not to jump ship based on the advertised interest rates alone. The biggest mistake people make when they react to advertising for a car loan is to immediately consider only the advertised lender. With just a little more thought it becomes obvious that if one car loan lender can provide a better deal than your current car loan, then others may be offering even better deals than the advertiser.

Using a comparison table can be a good way of getting a quick idea of what is on offer from a large group of car loan lenders. While you won't know exactly what a Suncorp New & Used Car Loan or an ANZ Bank Car Loan will offer you until you move further in the application process, you may be able to figure out who is offering the most competitive prices by comparing car loan lenders in a comparison page.

If you wish to refinance your car loan with a lender offering a lower interest rate, make sure that you are not losing any vital features of your car loan or paying so much more in fees that any saving is swallowed up. Also, remember that by extending your loan term you may end up paying more interest overall.
