Fixed Rate Car Financing Loans

Robert Worley asked:




Fixed rate car finance loans are like off the shelf car financing loans. They are loans whose rate, amount and repayment duration is fixed. Fixed rate auto finance loans are very suitable for people who are in dire need of these types of loans. These loans are readily available; they are also easily accessible and come with low interest rates that would definitely match the budget of an average consumer looking for a vehicle loan.

Amongst the different kinds of car finance that exists, pre-determined rate financing is the second best kind of loans that one can apply for. They come in second after low interest car financing. Most people who apply for low pre-determined rate auto financing usually find the rates suitable because most lenders that give out fixed rate finance approvals normally fix the rate at the amount that they feel is affordable to all.

A fixed rate car loan comes with, fixed interest rate, fixed down payment, and fixed surcharges. Most lenders and givers of fixed rate car loan may vary the amount that is required as interest rate and down payment. The required amount that a consumer might be required to pay might depend on certain factors such as the amount that he requesting to be financed with, his credit score and the repayment duration that he is requesting for.

Taking out a pre-determined car finance loan has certain disadvantages. Some of its disadvantages emanates from the fact that a fixed rate car financing loan has rigid terms and conditions that are too rigid to be amended to suit customers and consumer preference. Often time, customers and consumers have to readjust their budget and preference to suit that of the loans.

The advantage of taking up a pre-determined rate car financing loan outweighs it disadvantages.

Does Bad Credit Equal A High Interest Rate On Your Car Loan?

Ruth Caldon asked:




Picture this. You need a new set of wheels and you need them in a hurry. The only problem is you don’t have the disposable cash to buy it and you know your credit record leaves a lot to be desired. So what do you do? Resort to grabbing the bus every day or go for an auto loan instead?

Most people would put their hands up at the suggestion of an auto finance loan. It solves all your problems, giving you the cash you need to buy that new car up front, and allowing you to pay it back monthly at an agreed rate.

But hang on a minute – aren’t interest rates for bad credit risks going to be sky high?

It’s a fact of life that someone who is an excellent credit risk is going to get the lowest rates. But it doesn’t work in quite the same way in reverse. It’s easy to assume that the worst credit risk is automatically going to get really high interest rates. But this is where the logical thinking can break down.

The truth is that there are companies around today who specialize in providing competitive car loans for people who don’t have a good credit record. The trick is to shop around and make sure you get the best rate you can.

Some people are surprised at just how much they can do to help themselves as well. For instance, let’s say you are looking to borrow $15,000 to finance that new car you’ve got your eye on. You might find you have the option to spread your repayments over different lengths of time. But this could involve different rates of interest.

Generally speaking you should get a better rate for agreeing to pay the money back faster. You should always be sure you agree to what you can afford of course. There is no point agreeing to a lower interest rate for paying back $300 a month if you can only afford to pay back $150 a month. Always ensure you pick the right loan and terms for your needs.

Another example would be the advance payment you make on your car. If you can put 20% down you’ll get better terms than if you only put 5% down. Crunch those numbers carefully and work out what you can afford to do before agreeing to the terms of any loan. This will help you to get the lowest possible rate for your situation.

Where should I go to finance an auto loan?

jc asked:


Should I use my bank, a credit union, the dealer? If I have good credit, which will give me the best interest rate and monthly payment?

Who can I call that would be willing to re-finance my very high interest auto loan, with my bad credit?

sis2sis asked:


I recently bought a car, and had to take a loan with an interest rate of 24.99%. That means that I’m going to pay double for my car once its payed off. I’ve been hearing that I can try refinancing after 6 months of “on time” payments, but I’ve applied twice now, and been turned down both times. Does anyone know anything about this. Who I can call? Or how long I should wait before I try again. The company that financed me does not offer a refinance option.
