Bank loan vs. Dealer financing email this discussion to a friend?

Sonicrobot (21)   ranked 462 out of 929 in driving4 weeks ago

If you can find an offer for a loan from a bank and a financing offer from a dealer that have similar rates, which one makes more sense?

The bank offers variable rate and structured payments.

The dealer is offering flexible financing, meaning as long as I pay the minimum I can pay as much as I want per month.

Or does it make sense to go in with a low interest crest card, and that way avoid the whole bank loan process, maintaining flexibility at a low interest rate?

How does a bank lien compare to dealer financig in terms of repossesion in times of non payment?

This will be this first time I am makkg a large purchase on some sort of line of credit, and I don't want to do it the wrong way.

If I were you, I'd probably look into the contract first and then compare. You see, aside from the rates, there are a lot of things in the contract that could either make or break you, one thing is the acceleration clause wherein it states there that once you default payment even for once, the company has the right to sell your property without advising you, better watch for that.

Hi Sonicrobot, there are two things you need to consider. You need the lowest interest rate possible and the ability to over pay to pay off the debt quicker, never take the option of only making the minumum payment on any credit. I would look at using a zero interest card which will offer that for the initial few months and then start charging interest, before it reaches that time swap to another zero rate card. Only use it to finance the car as other purchases will be subject to interest.

As this is your first time with credit you need to ensure you get off to a responsible start with it and do nothing to blemish your credit rating. If you are t

Sorry, it entered too quickly.
I was about to add if you are thinking about repossession and the possibility of not making payments then wait and don't touch any type of credit yet, no matter how much you want the car. You will have trouble obtaining future credit at all if you get a black mark so early. Only commit to a debt which you know you can repay. It's even better to save up for what you need, leave the cash on high deposit and then take the car on zero% credit knowing that the money is there in the bank to pay for what you are driving.
