Chattel mortgage

Loan term

The term of your car loan affects your monthly repayments. If you’ve taken out a shorter loan term, there will be less time to settle your loan obligation so your repayments will be higher. On the other hand, if you have a long-term car loan, your repayments will be lower because they will be distributed into a long time-frame. However, you will be paying more in interest.

Loan Amount

This amount will depend on the price of the car that you’re buying and your down payment. If you still owe money on your current car or if you have a car you’re trading in, it will also affect your loan amount.

Chattel mortgage rates

Your monthly car payment not only covers the loan’s principal but also the loan’s interest and fees. If you’ve taken out a car loan with a high interest rate, you will be paying more every month.

Fees (incl pay out)

Depending upon which lender you choose to go with, there may be a range of different fees associated with your chattel. Your broker will give you a full breakdown of the fees to ensure your loan is right for your business.

Repayment frequency

A car loan is a big financial responsibility. While purchasing the vehicle may be easy because of the financing, the repayments that you will make for several years can greatly affect your finances. This is why it is important to understand and determine how much you’ll be repaying even before taking out a car loan.

When a lender approves you for a car loan, they will give you the money to pay for the vehicle on an agreement that you will repay it back with interest over an agreed-upon period. Your car loan payments are usually made in the form of monthly instalments. The amount of each repayment is determined by your loan amount, interest rate, and length of your loan term.

Asset condition (new or used)

It may be possible to get either a new or used car using a chattel mortgage. The condition of the asset may impact the loan term, so make sure you speak to your broker before jumping in on your car.
