Pros and cons

Pros

  • One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 6.74%, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
  • Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
  • Redraw. You can take back extra repayments later if you need the money.
  • No early repayment fee listed. You can pay the loan off early, or refinance, without a penalty. Check the terms to be sure.

Cons

  • A variable rate. Your repayments can rise if the lender lifts its rate, though they can also fall.
  • Secured against an asset. That usually keeps the rate down, but the lender can take the asset if you can't repay.
  • A $5 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
