Finance Food For thought.



Have you ever thought about acquiring a car loan?
Over 80% of cars bought are financed- it gives the customer the ability to own a car normally beyond their means at a nominal payment each month- or so it seems…
Whilst some car dealers have a perceived ‘low’ interest rate, they also charge substantial administration fees, encumbrance searches, loading fees, comprehensive pre-delivery check fees and valet fees to name a few. They also have hefty breakaway fees, if a customer misses a payment or breaks out of the contract. These fees are ones that are not made clear in the initial enquiry and most costumers only realise what they are getting themselves into when they have signed the contract.
At Hidden Equity we have access to a range of banks and finance arrangements where our rate for an average car loan of $20,000 can be as low as $422.17 a month.
This seems to look like a high amount, but when compared with some car dealers repayments - $528.6, $683.4, $480, $640 to name a few, you can easily see the financial benefit.
Another interesting point is the car dealer’s alleged ‘low’ interest rate. Upon exploration, if a car dealer is insinuating a 2%-3% finance rate, you are paying ticket price. No negotiations - if that Holden Commodore is $24,999 drive away that’s what you will pay. In this ‘ticket price’ they can and will cleverly disguise their finance rate and the monthly payments on a $20,000 car can be anywhere in the $500-700 range. That’s why it is imperative to have expert negotiation skills when dealing with car yard salesmen, and there is no finer advice than that of a Hidden Equity consultant.
