Before you sign at the dealership

  • Rates depend on your credit history, income and the age of the car. Older used cars often attract higher rates.
  • Fees aren't included here. Ask for the comparison rate and all fees before you compare offers.
  • A balloon has to be paid, refinanced or covered by selling the car when the loan ends.
  • Business buyers may be better off with a chattel mortgage. Talk to your accountant.

Important: This calculator gives estimates only, for general information. It isn't credit advice and doesn't take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs, or any particular lender's credit policy. Results rely on the figures you enter and the assumptions described on this page, and actual rates, fees, government charges and lending decisions will differ. Talk to Claire before making a decision.
