    If you are purchasing a new automobile or looking for a suitable variant of used cars and need a loan, it is possible to finance the acquisition through banks or dealerships. The best alternative relies on a number of conditions, and neither solution is fundamentally superior to the other.

    According to your situation, choosing one over the other may save you both money and time. Continue reading to discover more about each choice and how to make the best possible choice.

    Finance from a Bank

    Going straight to a credit union or banking institution to obtain a car loan is known as bank financing. Before you enter the dealership, you will often a pre-approval for finance. To accelerate the deal by closing the contract, the creditor will provide you with a price and a commitment letter that you may provide to the dealer. Written approval of your loan amount may help deter auto salespeople from trying to convince you to add extras you don’t need.

    You may apply for pre-approval either online or in a nearby branch, according to the credit union or bank. If you’re not yet certain what you want, you might need to supply information on the car, which could lead to some delays.

    When you interact with a dealer, you may incur markup, but the rate offer you receive from a credit union or bank will be the actual interest rate. The rate quote you receive is often not a firm offer, though. Before processing your application and calculating your loan rates, the creditor will perform a rigorous credit request and look over your whole credit record when you visit the dealership to buy the automobile.

    One thing to bear in mind is that according on whether you’re purchasing a new or used automobile, your options can change. New cars may be eligible for reduced interest rates in general, and some credit unions and banks put restrictions on the car’s age and mileage.

    Finance from a Dealer

    The only difference between dealer-arranged financing and bank financing is that the dealer is handling the paperwork on your behalf.

    The dealer will ask you to complete an application for credit after you’ve made your vehicle selection, which they will then send to other lenders. You may use this to compare prices and terms and select the best one for you.

    To make up for managing the finance, a dealer could in some circumstances agree to a higher rate of interest with you than the lender provides. To put it another way, you might not be receiving all the data you require to decide in an optimal way.

    In general, a dealer will give you a better rate of financing on a new automobile than on a used one. In fact, if you meet the requirements, some dealerships may offer promotional finance on brand-new vehicles at rates as low as 0% APR.

    When the dealership offers in-house finance, this is another type of dealer financing. These dealerships specialize in dealing with clients that have bad or no credit reports. However, these loans have hefty charges and down payment restrictions, and there is also a larger danger of repossession.

    How to Select the Perfect Option

    It’s always advisable to go with the course of action that will result in the most financial savings. Sadly, it’s not always simple to determine what that alternative is right away.

    As a result, it can be worthwhile to attempt to obtain pre-approval from a credit union or bank before visiting the dealership and to request quotations from the dealer as well. In this manner, you may evaluate the choices and choose the finest ones.

    You may need some time to get estimates from several credit unions and banks.

    Looking for choices through credit unions and banks may be especially crucial if you have terrible credit. Even if the loan rate is greater than you may want, it may still be a better arrangement than what a buy now, pay now dealership would provide.

    Regardless of the course you take, you should be aware that asking for auto loans might have an impact on your credit ratings. Each time you request a loan, the creditor does a hard query into your credit record, which might lower the score by a few points.

    Applying for many loans at once can exacerbate this detrimental effect, but if you browse around for rates in a short amount of time — usually 14 days, but occasionally longer — all the queries are included together when determining your credit score.

    Before asking for an auto loan, make a financial plan

    Although knowing how to acquire the best funding for your automobile is crucial, there are other preparations you should do as well. To start, find out where you stand by checking your credit score. Before applying, think about taking efforts to repair your credit if it needs it and you have the time.

    Work on putting together a down payment on the loan as well. The less you must finance and the less interest you will pay over the course of the loan, the bigger the down payment is.

    Finally, ensure that you can meet the monthly bill by reviewing your budget. Driving an automobile that will bring you more misery than the joy of the lot is the last move you want to do.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
