Lease vs finance is a double edged sword, depending on your perspective and
financial situation the answer may differ. Let’s first explore some of the
benefits of a lease, typically in a lease contract the manufacture will offer
you a competitive interest rate, along with a residual value. A residual value
will change from month to month, and from term to term. This magical figure is
derived from the manufacture’s prediction of the vehicle’s resale value 36, 48
month down the road. The residual value is based on many factors, such as the
current economy, bank’s lending interest rate, and auction reports and so on. A
higher residual value will result in a lower payment, and vice versa a lower
residual value will bring up your monthly payment considerably. So the question
you have to ask yourself is simple, do you want a lower monthly payment or you
can afford a higher payment per month just to save on the interest. Let’s use a
typical Honda Civic lease for example, if you are currently leasing a Civic for
48 month with a residual value about 45% of the selling price, your monthly
payment should be in the $300 range. If you finance the identical vehicle for
the same 48 month term, your monthly payment may double to about $600. Although
the payment is higher but if you look at the big picture, after all taxes and
payments are made in full, finance will save you from $1000-$2000 depending on
the interest rate.

Long story short, financing payment usually doubles a lease payment; the reason
for this is very simple. Since finance deals with the entire cost of the vehicle
(or capital cost as the term that is referred to in the industry) you are paying
for the entire car (including taxes). Lease on the other hand will only include
about 50% of the cost of the vehicle, because of the residual value. You have a
choice at the end of your lease to purchase the vehicle or return it to the
manufacture. A leased vehicle does have certain stipulations and limits such as
allowed km can not exceed certain amount, or you have to keep the vehicle in
reasonable shape when you are returning the lease. Another benefit of lease is
you can write it off as a business expense if you are using the vehicle for
business purposes. But at the end of the day leasing will cost you more, not
much more, but about 5% of the selling price. For some one who needs a new car
every 3 to 4 years, and don’t have to worry about any repair bills lease maybe
the best option. Also if you need a lower payment because you have a cash flow
problem, lease is an attractive option.

With a leased vehicle the title will remain in the manufacture’s name, since the
vehicle has been paid off or a lien is registered with the vehicle, you can not
sell or modify or damage the vehicle as if it is yours. To purchase insurance
coverage you must have full coverage as well, since the vehicle is some one
else’s investment a full coverage is required. Financing on the other hand will
also require full coverage until the vehicle is paid off, but it is easier to
break the contract versus lease. Since the lease payment is equal to the
vehicle’s depreciation value, you never accumulate any real equity in the car.
Don’t kid yourself of thinking you may return the vehicle with lower kms and
expect a refund from the dealership. In conclusion if you are looking to finance
a vehicle you will have to face higher monthly payment, but some equity in your
name. And to lease a vehicle you are simply paying for the depreciation of the
vehicle over time, and you will not get any real equity when you are returning
the car.

If you are looking to purchase a used Honda, you are making the right choice.
Not only Honda has one of the highest resale values in the market, but this
particular brand is also very reliable. Since Honda Civic is the number one
selling vehicle in Canada, there will be lots of choices when you are searching
for your next Honda. However price should not be the only deciding factor when
it comes to your purchase, remember the old saying of “you get what you pay
for”? If you are a typical consumer, the most logical route you will take is to
search on Autotrader.com, because of Auto Trader’s popularity majority of your
local inventory can be found online that way. Bear in mind the Civic will have
many different models, trims, transmission setups, km, equipment, modifications.
The list goes on and on when it comes to why the two Civics are priced out
differently. The rule of the thumb is the dealer will usually ask more for a
Civic versus a private seller, or a small independent dealer. While it is true
the smaller guys will have less overhead, but that is not the only reason why
their product is cheaper. Many smaller dealers will purchase their vehicle
through auction, or other wholesalers. Auctions usually don’t have the best
selection when it comes to the vehicle quality, because when the lease expires
on a Honda, the head office may dump all the undesirable vehicles through
auctions.

Vehicles with minor cosmetic damages abused and mechanically damaged vehicles,
even vehicles with major accident repairs. The best Honda you can possibly
purchase is straight from the dealership’s existing customer. These vehicles
will usually have a service history, and the dealers usually will keep the best
vehicles for themselves to resale, and dump the rest to the auctions. So the
cleanest, most accident free and well maintained vehicles are usually found from
the dealership’s existing customers. Haven said that, how can you tell if the
car you are buying is accident free or well maintained? Simple, now days with
the dealer disclosure laws in place, a reputable dealership is obligated to tell
you if there are any damages exceeding $3000 in repairs. Usually a simple
cosmetic repair will cost you about $1000, so $3000 is not a lot when you look
at it from the body shop’s perspective. Ask your local dealer to provide you
with a Car Proof report which will list all the insurance claims or any recorded
accident history.

Although Car Proof report is a great tool to determine if your vehicle has been
involved in a previous accident, it may not be 100% accurate all the time. There
can be repairs that was done to the vehicle and paid by customer themselves,
leaving virtually no paper trail. Another simple method to quickly check if your
vehicle has been involved in a major accident is to look for VIN etching
stickers through out the body panels. Honda been one of the earliest
manufactures to adopt this practice, all Hondas since 2001 and newer will have
the vehicle VIN number sticker to every panel. If you find a panel with missing
VIN stickers that usually indicate that particular part has been changed.

Don’t feel like you are pushed against the wall if you have less than perfect
credit. You will be surprised how many Canadians today fall into that category.
A car loan’s approval and ARP or interest rate is based on your credit history,
generally speaking the better the credit bureau the lower the interest rate. I
mean after all it makes sense if the person you are lending money to have a good
chance of returning it, wouldn’t you be more comfortable taking less interest in
return just to keep him happy? And in the other extreme if you feel like your
principle is at risk, you should minimize the risk by taking on a big return,
otherwise it’s not worth your time right? Every time you are trying to take on a
car loan, try to think about it from the lender’s perspective. That will often
give you valuable insights into the world of banking and lending practices.

All of us want a lower monthly payment, and we all want to pay as little as
possible and drive as nice of a car as possible. That is just human nature! So
to get a lower monthly payment you simply buy a cheaper car with less capital
cost and that is the first way to reduce your monthly payment. But if you have
bad credit on top of that, interest rate will be your enemy so having a lower
monthly payment is almost impossible. But in relative terms, you can still lower
your payment in a few different ways. One of them is try to take on another loan
at a lower APR rate, so for example if you’re current bad credit loan is at 21%
interest rate, and you still owe $10000 on that loan. By you applying for
another loan from a different lender may result in you been approved for another
$10000 loan at 17% interest rate. That 4% difference can save you 30-40 dollars
per month, so it will only make sense if you can get the lower rate.

The second tip is to re-apply financing after one year of repayment. The bad
credit car loan system works kind like our jail, when you are on good behavior
and after a while they may give you an early release, or set paroled due to that
reason. It is very much the same in the car loan repayment and credit rebuilding
process.

This article explores some of the options for financing a vehicle when the
individuals is going through the process of bankruptcy.

Let’s start by saying that everyone goes through tough times and everyone is
entitled to a break. Even if you are in the midst of bankruptcy, you most
likely still need to get from A to B. So, how is this possible? The best thing
to do is to communicate with your bankruptcy trustee. The trustee is the
official from the court who deals with bankruptcies on a daily basis. They know
your best options in terms of what kind of car and budget you are allowed to
pursue.

If you are worried about financing, don’t think that there is no hope. Some
lenders see this situation all the time and have experience in dealing with
bankrupt customers. Try and find someone who has experience in a situation
similar to yours and try and find what sort of financing you are eligible for.
Often times if it is a moderate amount of money that you are seeking, you may be
pleasantly surprised.

One thing to keep in mind too is if you have any additional collateral. For
example, you may have a home or property that you have that is equity that you
may be able to use in getting your car loan. If you own a property or home, the
lender may be able to place a supplemental lien on your home to help you get
into your vehicle.

If you are in a situation where you are renting an apartment or home and don’t
have the equity in a house or property, don’t despair either. There are some
lenders that will understand your situation and offer financing for you. This
may be at a higher interest rate as your status is not seen as favourable with
banks but there are definitely options for people from all walks of life and all
situations.

One big thing about rebuilding your credit and your life is to have support in
your journey back up that hill. There are always lenders and dealers that
understand your plight and want to help you get out of your current rut. In
getting a vehicle where you can make affordable payments, your credit rating has
a great chance of going up and gives you the chance to get back on your feet
again. At first your interest rates may be a bit higher but that is due to and
coincides with your credit score. As your rating starts to get better, you
often qualify for lower rates and the trend continues.

Bottom line is, do not despair. Many great people have been in situations of
unfavourable credit and bankruptcy and it is not a life sentence.

Today, almost every loan provider is familiar with the impacts that recession
brought to several small and large scale companies in the form of degradation of
product value, economization through downsizing on large scale, and incapability
of many people and companies to pay back the loans. You need to catch the nerves
of the firms when you are suffering from the issue of bad credit history.
Getting bad credit car loans is not as difficult as getting approval for a home
loan or business loan; because car is comparatively a low value asset, and hence
doesn’t need as much finance as that of a home or business. You can definitely
come out of the crisis situation by researching over the available financing
schemes that are offered by different banks, and creditors for the people who
wish to apply for bad credit car loans.

In order to increase your chances of getting approval for the bad credit car
loans, you can take few steps that would allow you to gain the trust of the
financer, and hence you can successfully avail the loan. In fact, simply
following the right strategy will work wonders for you, and you would end up
winning over the crisis situation.

1. There is no doubt in the fact that when you will apply for bad credit car
loans, ,most of the creditors will go for your financial history check; and the
bad credit history will prove as a hindrance in your way. So accept the fact
that with a bad credit history, you will have to act shrewdly.

2. In case of the bad credit history, you can provide an assurance to the
Financer through the collateral matters. By collateral matters, you would be
providing assurance through your valuable assets to the creditor. This will
certainly be a great way of gaining the trust of any car loan company, and you
will be able to avail the loan while putting your assets as guarantee. Not a big
deal and simplest to apply, Right?

3. Getting bad credit car loans is certainly a hard task, but apart from the
loan providing companies and banks; you can also look for few better options.
Your friends and family members are among the ones who would always be at your
side to support you. Asking few of your closest and reliable ones can certainly
be a good idea. But always remember to return the loan on time, so as to
maintain their trust.

Research, research and research your options. First if you are in need of a car
loan, you should find the right vehicle first. And make sure the dealer you are
dealing with is an actual dealership not just a credit broker. Where a broker
will make additional profit from you the customer, and pass you along to a
dealer in the end. First step of saving your hard earned money is to deal
directly with a dealership. Try to contact them by phone or email, and make sure
someone is there to answer your questions, not just some blank email that goes
to no where. You can submit your application and bargain with your dealership to
see what is the lowest interest rate available to you.

The dealers will usually have a financial portal open with the banks, and they
will be submitting your application to 5-10 lenders, and when they receive the
answers back from the lenders they can tell you who is offering the lowest
interest rate and who is offering the higher one. If you are trying to
re-finance your current car loan, you must make sure the APR or interest rate
you are taking on to re-finance is lower than your current one. And usually you
can not get re-financed by the same lender as your first loan. You should try a
different source.

Automotive Warranties offered in Canada are confusing at best to an average
consumer; they are designed to be that way, something that is very similar to an
insurance policy. It can be easily mistaken and misunderstood if the purchaser
is not knowledgeable about automotive technology. In essence these types of
products are underwritten by an insurance company. In layman’s terms if you pay
me few hundred dollars right now, when your vehicle requires repairs (depending
on the component and reason for the breakdown) we may or may not cover the cost
of your repair. The two main categories of warranty you will encounter today in
the market place are called “comprehensive coverage” and “power train”. Let us
look into the comprehensive coverage first.

Comprehensive unlike the word used to describe the product is not the same as
“bumper to bumper” coverage. The typical sales pitch on these products would be
“if anything breaks down on your vehicle, we will cover the repair cost.”
however there are many fine prints on these types of contracts that will often
lead to misunderstanding and frustration when you try to make a claim.

First of all no warranty will cover items they called the “wear and tear” items.
This includes the most often changed items on your vehicle. The list includes
your brake rotors, pads, tires, AC Freons, or insurable items such as
windshield, body panels, so on and so on. So what does comprehensive warranty
really cover then you ask. Well the correct technical answer is “the warranty
will cover the part and labor cost on any manufacture defect” in another word
“if the item in question are not designed to be frequently replaced due to wear
and tear” it will be covered under this warranty. For example if your CD player
stopped functioning, it will be a warranty related item. However if your CD
player stopped working due to your buddy trying to install a new system for you
it will not be covered.

The service department of a dealership usually investigate the claim by booking
your for one hour labor upfront, after if they can determine it is a
manufacture’s defect, your cost for the hour labor will be waived. However if
the verdict is “guilty” you will be on the hook for about $100 for the
mechanic’s labor. Any new vehicle will come with some sort of warranty when they
are sold, depending on the manufacture, it will vary from 3 years or 60,000 km
up to 5 years or 100, 0000 km. If you are insisting on purchasing an extended
warranty, it is always the best option to buy it from the manufacture itself,
rather than any aftermarket product.

Power train warranty on the other hand only covers the power train components of
your vehicle. This will usually include all internal mechanical parts along with
gaskets and seals on your engine, transmission and differentials. Power train
warranty usually runs a much longer period, starting from 5 years or 100,000 km
to 7 years or 160,000 km depending on the manufactures. Same diagnostic
procedures will also apply to the power train warranty if any claims are made.

It’s not that difficult to imagine there are people out there that require a car
loan but they may have bad credit, no credit or new credit. When some one falls
into this category of used car financing it usually means they have been
recently bankrupt, divorced, or new to the country. It is a catch 22 where a
bank or lender will not lend you any money without your payment record, or
credit score. But how can you get your first loan if no one is willing to take a
chance on you? Due to the recent economic downtown, there are many Canadians
that fall into the category of bad credit, no credit used car financing. And
about 50% of this population has credit scores that are so low, they wouldn’t
even get approved from the bad credit car loan providers. This usually means you
have credit scores less than 500, and your payment history is constantly late,
slow, or absent. No one plans to be in this situation, but once you sink into
this debt trap it is difficult to pull yourself out of it.

Worse yet if you need a car for family or business and you can’t get a loan
regardless of interest rate. There are very few options out there for you, but
all hopes are not lost yet. There are loan providers in the city of Toronto who
is willing to take a chance on you without a credit check. The truth is it is
possible for you to obtain a loan without a credit check, as long as you
understand that is your last resort. These types of loans usually are private
loans from private lenders. They are not your typical bank loans which will
require a credit bureau pulled on your behalf, bad credit car loans will require
your credit score or bureau. But private loans will not, it is entirely up to
the lender to offer you the loan or not just based on your word and down
payment.
