Although there are exceptions, the vast majority of new car purchases occur through the financing. Among the different forms there is the personal loan, provided by a credit institution such as your bank, or by financial companies in the consumer credit sector such as August. In this case the loan is disbursed regardless of the purpose: in other words it is not strictly linked to the asset (the car) that one intends to purchase. These loans provide a fixed interest rate with a repayment plan in constant installments, sometimes with the start of payment postponed compared to the disbursement of the credit, in order to encourage participation in the plan (but, in fact, it is only a postponement of the payment). The loan is usually granted to all those who demonstrate that they have one pay slip, therefore a monthly salary from your employer. In the absence of this, it is necessary to present documents and guarantees aimed at avoiding insolvency, such as the income declaration for self-employed or professionals, the demonstrable income certified with the Cudthe bank statement certifying regular payments into your current account, the availability of a property on which it is possible to take out a mortgage, a monthly income through a rent, a current account with a co-holder with a fixed-term employment contract permanent or a trusted guarantor (such as a relative) with a permanent employment contract.

car financing: advantages and disadvantages

Between advantages generally associated with a personal loan for the purchase of a car there is the possibility of diluting the list price over time, of which you can choose the duration based on your needs. Among disadvantagesthe interest which, although diluted in small amounts included in the monthly instalment, is added to the final purchase price.

Car financing: the requirements

To obtain the financing needed to purchase a car, you must be residents in Italy and be aged between 18 and 70. As regards the disbursement method, the money is paid – in most cases – directly into the customer’s current account, while some offer the alternative of a cheque.

interest rates

Interest rates can vary depending on the company that provides them, but also on the terms of the loan. There are two main elements to keep in mind: Tan and Taeg. The first – Nominal annual rate – refers to the sole percentage of annual interest applied to a loan amount. For this reason, i.e. the fact that it excludes from its calculation the costs of opening and closing the application and the costs related to the provision of credit, it is not very indicative of the real cost of the loan. Rather, it is better to pay particular attention to the percentage of the APR – Global Effective Annual Rate -, which includes everything and is therefore a true litmus test of the actual cost of the loan. This parameter is mandatory, not only on the credit granting contract, but also obviously in advertisements (think of a television advertisement where it is always specified) and on all notices to the public. The famous “zero rate”, however, refers to the Tan and not to the Taeg. Usually the zero rate is offered by car manufacturers who offer this solution in collaboration with their respective finance companies.
