Smart Financing Guide

Expect 5 (five) great benefits:

  1. RATE:
    start with a super low, FIXED rate contingent on the LTV value of your home and your credit rating

    • home equity loan rates can be as low or lower than many new and used auto loan rates. Depending on your LTV position and credit rating, you can find rates near or lower than the PRIME RATE.

    • sometimes auto manufacturers advertise rates at 0.00%. But that rate is on vehicles they need to dispose of. Walk into a dealer and request 0.00% financing on a vehicle YOU WANT and hear a different story.

    • that's why when you are in the market for a new car or truck, get the rate that is one of the best in the market at terms that fit your budget.


  2. TERM:
    select your choice of repayment plans from five years or more

    • auto loans generally have a 60-72 month repayment plans— that translates into hefty monthly payments when you consider the price of new cars today

    • with a home equity loan, you can set the term for a longer period of time. This means lower monthly payments to start. And if circumstances allow you to pay more each month, you can. That is the flexibility you need to budget your expenses.


  3. POWER SHOPPING:
    have the leisure to shop for a car with the financing already arranged

    • once you close your equity loan, you can shop at your leisure knowing full well what kind of car you can buy — no more haggling or worrying that your auto loan won't cover the extra features that you would like.


  4. POWER TO NEGOTIATE: 
    gain the negotiating power to shop for the best price with cash in hand

    • think about it, no more haggling with the dealer. Simply walk in, pick the car you want, add the features YOU NEED, and negotiate with cash in hand. Watch the dealers roll out the red carpet.


  5. TAX SAVINGS:
    reduce your borrowing cost further with potential tax savings for qualified home owners

    home equity interest may be tax deductible— see your tax advisor for information about deducting home equity interest

    • the interest on your home equity loan may qualify for tax deductions. That means additional savings in your pocket.

"How to Use" Stories

Choose the best financing for your auto

Compare these options:

Option 1:
Finance your car or truck with an auto loan from a lending institution

That means you must have your new car or truck already selected. And if you have your car picked out, you probably didn't have the purchasing power of cash when you negotiated price.

Your repayment terms will be limited (generally 5-7 years to repay your loan). Plus the interest you pay on your auto loan will not be tax deductible.

Option 2:
Finance your purchase with the dealer.

You might get a quicker decision, but part of the dealer's price includes their cost to find financing for you. Did you know that dealers add anywhere from 1-2% to the loan rate as a finder's fee from the banks. Why pay that penalty?

Also make sure you read the fine print before you sign. Some auto loans penalize you if you pay off your loan early.

Your repayment terms are limited (generally 5-7 years). And the interest you pay is not tax deductible.

Option 3:
Finance your purchase with an approved check from an online lending aggregator.

Nice option. You will have your check in hand when you walk into the dealer. It's like have the power of cash to negotiate your best deal.

But wait, these checks only allow a purchase up to a certain amount. If you find a better car that is more than the amount written on the check, you are out of luck.

Plus, your term is limited (generally 5-7 years), and the interest you pay is not tax deductible.

 

How About the BEST Option:
Use our "Auto Buying" Home Equity Loan.

You can use the equity in your home to finance your new car or truck. You can apply and get approved for your equity loan before you go shopping.

Walk in and negotiate the best price right then and there. Use the power of cash to get add-ons and the best deal.

Your Home Equity Loan comes with extended repayment plans that you like. Select a plan that fits your budget — a short term to payoff your loan quickly; or a longer term to reduce your monthly payments. It's up to you.

And with most home equity loans, you can payoff the loan amount at any time.

 

Another Great Benefit

Your home equity loan can save you even more money since your equity loan is secured by a mortgage lien on your home.

The interest charged each month is considered mortgage interest and is tax deductible for some taxpayers. Speak with your tax advisor to see if you qualify for the mortgage tax deduction.

Competitive rates. Extended repayment terms. Tax savings. 

Now that's smart financial management.

"How to Use" Stories

Tailor a payment plan that fits your budget

Most bank auto and dealer financing loans give you 3 or 4 repayment plans:

1. up to 4- years.
2. up to 5- years.
3. up to 6- years.

Not much flexibility considering the high price of new cars and trucks.

What if you want to lower your monthly payment by paying your loan back in 7, 8 or 10 years or more?

You can with the "Auto Buying" home equity loan. You select the repayment term with your lending institution.

Many home equity lenders offer repayment plans from 12 to 240 months (1-20 years). That means if you want to repay your loan quickly, choose 12 or 18 months.  If you need 10 years to repay, choose 120 months. You decide.

See our example:

  Auto Loan Home Equity Loan
Auto Price 25,000 25,000
Term 6 Years 10 Years
Rate * 8.00% 8.00%
     
Payment $438.33 $303.32


When circumstances allow, you can pay more than the minimum monthly payment to reduce your loan fast. But when finances get tight, it's nice to have a lower monthly payment to manage through tough times.

That is the flexibility you need.

Use our comparison calculator to compare repayment plans.

*Please note: The APR shown above are the same to illustrate the difference in payment amount. These are not actual rates. In most cases, depending on your LTV position, your equity loan may come with a lower rate than interest rates on new auto loans. Check rates to compare
