Purchasing Vehicles Using Auto Loans

By Stacie Terakim


Auto loans are loans that are extended by a financial institution to a borrower. This type of borrowing is of a specific nature and has to be used only in vehicle purchase. The process of sourcing the loan can be compared to a contract. Where the financial institution presents an offer to the borrower and the borrower accepts the offer and takes up the loan.

Unlike old times, there is a price to pay for everything we wish to have. The borrower should carefully go through the terms issued and check whether they are favorable. One should consider the interest rate this loan attracts. The repayment period and weigh whether taking this loan is beneficial. Lack of careful evaluation can result in losses especially where you find yourself not able to pay back the amount borrowed.

Many financial institutions have basic financing requirements. Most of these financiers have $7500 as the minimum loan amount that can be extended to the borrower. There is no point of taking a loan to purchase an old vehicle. Cheap is expensive at times. Most financiers insist that vehicles must not have exceeded 70,000 miles and must be less than 7 years old.

The rules have to be followed to the letter. The amount borrowed cannot be used to transact any type of business. It is strictly used in purchasing an automobile. It cannot be used in purchasing an auto lease, taxi, camper van or even limousine. Each financier sets his own terms and conditions.

Application or processing fees are not charged by many companies. The application process is free and fair. Once they receive your application, they assess whether you qualify for a loan. This helps one to do away with the worries associated with losing money if the loan request does not go through.

Prepayment of the amount borrowed is part of honoring your part of the contract as a borrower. One may opt to pay either a portion or the entire amount borrowed at any time. No penalties or fees are charged for prepayments. The problem sets in when you default in your payments. In such a scenario, the financier may result in litigation.
