Pros and cons

Pros

  • One rate for everyone. Everyone approved gets 6.49%, so the rate you see is the rate you get.
  • A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
  • 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 $8 monthly fee. That adds $480 over 5 years, as well as the interest.
  • Secured against an asset. That usually keeps the rate down, but the lender can take the asset if you can't repay.
