Pros and cons

Pros

  • A fixed rate. Your repayments stay the same for the whole loan, which makes it easier to budget.
  • Extra repayments. Paying more than the minimum pays the loan off sooner and cuts the interest you pay.
  • A soft check on your rate. You can see the rate you'd get without it showing on your credit report.

Cons

  • Your rate isn't known until you apply. It's set by your credit history and finances, anywhere from 5.74% to 12.99%, and only some people get the starting rate.
  • A $15 monthly fee. That adds $900 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.
  • An early repayment fee. Paying the loan off early or refinancing can cost a fee, which cuts into what you save by repaying sooner.
  • A $15 late payment fee. Setting up automatic repayments avoids it.
