July 16, 2010, 6:35 pm
Did you know that the car you choose to buy has a great effect on whether or not you are approved for a car loan? Many people think that because they have good credit they can go about purchasing just about any car they want just as long as they can meet the monthly minimum even it is a 7 or 10 year plan. Well if you are really looking to purchase a car it would be a good idea to stick to a car you can really afford or you could end up like many others with a bad credit score.
In addition to a bad credit score there are many other reasons why you would want to think twice about the car you want to purchase. Always stick to purchasing a car you can pay off within five years anything longer than that can you are setting yourself up for a very expensive interest rate. You are also setting yourself up for lots of uncertainty which could lead to the repossession of your car, not to mention the fact that the value of your car depreciates each year. Throw in monthly maintenance of your car which becomes very important after a period of four years and you could be in for a bad patch.
So what should you do? Well for starters always purchase a car which you can afford which we have also mentioned above. Now by this we mean something that does not take a lot out of you financially while at the same time enables you to pay off your car loan ideally within 3 years or a max of 5 years. This ensures that the car becomes yours as soon as possible and if you ever need something new you can always sell it or exchange it for a better model.
