Did you know that the bigger the vehicle deposit or the sooner you pay, the less you have to pay the bank in interest fees?
It is exciting looking for a car, but without the careful consideration required to make this important financial decision of purchasing a car, there are some that end up regretting it further down the road... so to speak.
Here's a great tip when looking to purchase a car
- Select the car with a budget in mind. Know what your expenses are per month and what you can afford. Life happens and circumstances may change so it's always a good idea to make sure you have extra on hand for emergencies.
- Put down a bigger deposit. Did you know that the bigger the deposit or the sooner you pay, the less you have to pay in interest fees.
Vehicle Amortisation - how much can you save on repayments?
Amortisation is the "paying off of debt in regular installments over a period of time". The regular installments inlude the interest, but the interest is calculated on the current owed amount.
So you will save a lot of money in the long term, by paying a larger deposit or adding more to the monthly or paying over fewer years - check out our handy Vehicle Amortisation Calculator (use ONLY as a guide)
