WHILE it might sound like a cliché, apart from a home, a vehicle such as a car, boat, caravan, motorbike van, ute or truck, is one of the single biggest purchases you are likely to make in your lifetime.

Life’s second biggest purchase

When you think about it like that it becomes clear buying a new vehicle is a transaction that shouldn’t be entered into lightly. 

The most important thing is not which shade of car window tinting to get, whether the ute has shiny rims, or if that caravan has the right coloured cabinetry – this is a major financial decision.

When savings aren’t an option

For many people using their savings to purchase a vehicle is not an option. 

For practical reasons, such as they need it to get around now, the luxury of time in order to save for a vehicle may not be available to them.

Even if they do have a nest egg, they may be reluctant to tie up cash savings in an asset that quickly depreciates, opting for other investments instead.

What about Dealer Finance?

Dealer Finance is a type of loan that originates with the retailer to its customers and then is sold to a bank or other third-party financial institution.

Unsuspecting buyers may be lured by the convenience of dealer finance deals, but that may include extra fees and charges.

Dealer finance appeals to many as a quick, convenient way to get a new vehicle straight away. 

However, if you want the most competitive deal it is important to shop around for your loan. 

This may mean shopping the loan separately from the vehicle.

Even an interest rate set just a few per cent lower can mean a possible difference of thousands of dollars on the price of an average car over the life of the loan – extra money in your back pocket.
