Financing Options for Buying a Car
If you will be purchasing the car with a loan, be aware of your financing options. Consider options such as a home equity line of credit for potential tax deductions and a relatively low interest rate, or 401(k) loans for a guaranteed-to-be-approved-loan and a very competitive interest rate. Many banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions offer favorable interest rates on car loans. The dealer can often get you a loan, but you may be able to get better terms if you shop for financing before you choose your car.
This way, you will be able to evaluate the terms offered by the dealer and compare them to terms offered elsewhere. If the manufacturer offers a special financing deal on the car you choose, these will probably be the best terms available.
Be aware, that in order to take advantage of this low rate there may be special requirements or restrictions. For example, you may have to make a particularly large down payment.
