Taking out a car loan means that the lender purchases the vehicle for you and gives the opportunity to pay the full price over a period of years. In exchange, by paying interest each month, you compensate the lender services. Car loans in Canada very often use simple interest. It is calculated only on the principal and does not compound increasing your balance.
It is also important to remember that the amount that will be paid each month may vary. The reason for this is that some car loans are paid down through amortization. In this case, you always pay more at the beginning than at the end of your car loan.
Simple Interest Loan: The interest rate is based only on the outstanding balance. That gives the borrower the option to pay more than the standard monthly payment and thereby save on interest cost.
Pre-Computed Loan: All interest and principal payments are negotiated before the paperwork is signed. Payments are pre-calculated in advance, which excludes the possibility of early repayment.
Most of the car loans in Canada are structured with 12-months increments. They last somewhere between two and seven years. Depending on whether you are planning to buy a new or used car, you will find loans between 12 months and 84 months. The average used car loan lasts between 36 months to 48 months. The average for new car loan lasts between 60 months to 72 months.
Everything depends on the personal preferences of each borrower. A long-term car loan comes with an increased interest rate. That means that your monthly payments will be lower, but in the end, your total loan cost will be higher. However, with the short-term car loan option, your monthly payment will be higher, but will also come with reduced interest and total overall credit cost.
Secured car loans mean that the borrower offers the lender collateral or assets to secure the loan. Usually, this kind of loan used by people who recently went through bankruptcy. In most cases, the car itself is used as collateral. Unsecured car loans are the opposite, with no assets to recover in the event of default and with a higher car loan interest rate.
