Why would I take a credit union loan when I can get a lower interest rate from a garage?
It's true that the credit union can't compete with the garages on rate. However, we can offer other things which garages cannot. You should consider these when making your decision before you buy the car.
- You will own the car from day one.
- With credit union loan pre-approval, you can negotiate a cash price for your new car
- There are no lump sum deposits or balloon payments at the start or end of your credit union loan
- We have no admin fees, set up charges or close out charges on our loans. Absolutely no hidden fees.
- You have the option of paying more off your loan to clear it down early and save money on interest, with no penalty.
- Your loan is fully covered by loan protection insurance at no extra cost to you (subject to T&Cs). Should anything happen to you the loan will not be a burden on your next-of-kin.
