Financing a vehicle is, for most buyers, a mandatory step in obtaining a new car. Today, let's demystify the world of car financing and its importance for someone who plans to buy a vehicle soon.
What is car financing?
In simple terms, it is the loan amount taken out with a bank, external lender or dealer, for the purchase or lease of a vehicle. The financing includes a loan repayment plan, according to “[…] regular payments in addition to interest over an agreed period. Payments can generally be made on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly basis depending on your lender” (Prêts Québec & Loans Canada, 2023).
Is there a difference between financing a new and used vehicle?
For the most part, financing between a new and used vehicle is similar. The main difference between the two financings is the limitation on the value of the vehicle. Indeed, "[...]lenders and dealers don't want to lend more than the value of the car, [...] because from the lender's point of view, if the vehicle you've secured the loan against depreciates well below the loan amount, the lender will lose money if you miss your payments. Thus, the interest rate on used car loans can be higher than that of a loan for a new car” (Prêts Québec & Loans Canada, 2023).
