The potential benefits of changing motor vehicle credit arrangements can vary with individual reasons for doing so and the individual goals being targeted. If a lower interest rate is secured, savings may be realised in total interest payable. If the rate market has fallen since the original credit was taken out, a lower rate may now be possible.
If the repayment figure has become unworkable due to changes in income, our brokers will target a restructure of the repayment schedule. Negotiating a monthly commitment in line with current income and repayment capacity.
Securing credit to pay-out a residual or balloon may provide tax benefits to the business and ease pressure on the operation by not having to pay the lump sum from cash reserves. A new balloon or residual is an option with the new credit to lower repayments.
If the current vehicle funding was approved as Low Docs, No Docs or Bad Credit and the circumstances of the business or individual have changed, a new vehicle credit deal may provide an easing of conditions which are challenging the operation.
Where additional collateral was required for the current credit, a reworked option may remove that condition and free that collateral for other purposes.
There are costs associated with establishing lending arrangements and finalising credit early. Costs typically apply for ending an existing credit prior to the end of the agreed term. Costs will also apply to establishing the new funding arrangements. These charges will increase the amount required for the new funding and should be taken into consideration with the package we source for you.
