– ratesupermarket.ca
If you’ve driven past a car dealership lately, you’ve probably seen the signs: “0% financing on all remaining models!” But that doesn’t mean YOU can score that deal.
Close to one-third of Canadians looking to finance the purchase of a new or used vehicle aren’t eligible for such prime interest financing, according to industry estimates.
Of course, that doesn’t mean no one is going sell them a car. It’s just going to be financed through a subprime lender like TD Non Prime, Scotia Dealer Advantage or, the newest Canadian subprime player, Canadian Title Loan Corporation. So what should consumers know about taking on subprime loans?
Poor Credit Leads To Problems
Subprime lenders make loans to people with significant credit problems, either due to poor money management skills or personal setbacks such as job loss, divorce, medical emergencies and bankruptcy.
Not surprisingly, these subprime car loans have higher interest rates and less favourable terms in order to compensate the lender for the higher credit risk…
Will that be cash, credit card or Bitcoin?
