Unsecured car loans

If you don’t have an item of collateral to secure your car loan then an unsecured car loan allows you to get the loan you need.

The terms of an unsecured loan are usually a bit stricter as you are seen as a riskier client and if you don’t pay back your loan the lender has no security they can use to recover their costs.

The following can be provided for by an unsecured loan:

Loan consolidation – This loan allows you to combine all your existing debt into one loan amount. Debt can include your credit cards, hire purchase and car loans. By using this option, you will reduce your overall payments and only need to worry about one reduced payment until you get back on your feet
Personal loans – These long and short term loans can be used to pay for holidays, medical expenses, car repairs or any other reason you require with no restrictions.
Asset purchases – If you are buying a vehicle or a boat, furniture or other valuable property this can also be used to secure your loan
Home renovation - This type of personal loan can be used to do basic repairs on your home or upgrade your property

Auto Loan Company - A checklist for buying a car

It is always a risky option to buy a second-hand vehicle as you don’t know what problems the car might already have. Some cars may look like a great deal but they could have mechanical issues or other faults.

The things to look for when you examine the vehicle include:

Check the tires – Many second-hand cars will need new tires because the older ones could be worn out. You need to take the cost of replacing the tires into consideration when negotiating the price of the vehicle
Make sure you look very carefully at the painful job, notice any rusk spots, dents and scratches that could try to hide that the vehicle was involved in an accident
Make sure the trunk of the car and the bonnet can be opened easily and that everything works correctly.
Make sure that the frame of the car isn’t damaged. If the frame is damaged this can indicate the vehicle was in an accident
Start the vehicle and check that the exhaust leaks black or blue smoke
Open the hood of the car and ensure that all the components of the vehicle are there and are in working order
Inspect the engine for leaks and corrosion
Check the timing belt because this is a very costly item to replace. This belt should run for plus minus 1000 miles before it has any issues

The interior of the vehicle

Get into the car and sit in the driver’s seat. Check the seats for rips or stains, turn on the air conditioner to make sure that it works correctly. Look at the odometer of the car and take note of the mileage. The car's age can best be determined by how much mileage it has on the clock.

You should try to buy a car with low mileage. Vehicles that are older than 10 years are not recommended as they are usually more problems than they are worth and obtaining a car loan is very difficult.
