    car repair loans

    If you’re planning to undertake a car repair or upgrade project, be warned: even the smallest repair can eat up significant chunks of your savings. And let’s not forget about the horrors of sudden emergency repairs – they’re never convenient and always tend to strike up when we’re least able to afford them. So, if you are stuck in this situation, don’t fret. You aren’t alone, and you have more options to finance your car repair than you might realize. 

    Therefore, in this blog post, Jacaranda Finance shares some of the best ways to fund your car repairs so that you would not have to exhaust your years-long savings entirely. 

    #1: Credit Cards 

    Getting a credit card can be a great way to finance car repairs, especially if you need a small amount. Commercial banks generally offer credit cards to their customers that they must pay off by the end of each month. 

    Why you should use credit cards for car repairs:

    · Fast and easy cash for emergency repairs 

    · Opportunities to earn lucrative points/rewards

    Why you shouldn’t use credit cards for car repairs:

    · In case of missed payment, you may have to pay high interest and fees 

    · Costlier in the long run

    · Short payment cycles

    #2: Car Repair Loans

    These are unsecured personal loans, meaning you won’t be asked to provide any form of collateral for the borrowed loan. And this is one of the reasons why so many car owners prefer this option for funding their car repairs. 

    Plus, even if you default on the loan, the lenders would not touch your assets. Nonetheless, be aware that these loans can come accompanied with high-interest rates and fees. They also have lower borrowing limits in contrast to secured loans. 

    Why you should use car repair loans for auto repairs:

    · Fast cash service is available 

    · Quick application process

    · Funds come in a lump sum

    · No collateral required 

    Why you shouldn’t use car repair loans for auto repairs:

    · Potential negative impact on your credit score

    · Potentially high fees and interest rates 

    · Short payment cycles 

    #3: Secured Loans

    Unlike car repair loans, to get a secured loan, you will have to provide collateral, typically your car or vehicle. These loans indeed come with lower interest rates and greater flexibility; it’s important to note that they do put your assets at risk. Nonetheless, they’re an excellent option to finance your auto repairs, especially if you need a greater amount of money. 

    Why you should use secured loans for car repairs:

    · Avail larger amounts of cash at lower interest rates

    · Provides an opportunity to improve overall credit rating by making timely payments

    · Longer repayment terms 

    Why you shouldn’t use secured loans for car repairs:

    · Long application process 

    · Banks require collateral

    · If you fail to make payments, you may lose possession of your assets kept as collateral. 

    There are several other ways to fund your car repairs; however, remember that every option comes with certain pros and cons. As long as you avoid getting the help that you can’t afford and closely review your situation, there is always a way to carry out the auto repairs and upgrades you’ve been dreaming about.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
