Pros and cons
Pros
- A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
- No security needed. Your car or home isn't at risk if things go wrong, though missed repayments still hurt your credit report.
- Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
- No early repayment fee listed. You can pay the loan off early, or refinance, without a penalty. Check the terms to be sure.
Cons
- Your rate isn't known until you apply. It's set by your credit history and finances, anywhere from 8.49% to 24.39%, and only some people get the starting rate.
- A higher setup fee. $595, above the typical $213. It's usually added to the loan, so you pay interest on it too.
- A $35 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
