    Question Dealer Finance or Personal Loan???

    After recently deciding not to sell my VS, someone backed into it at a Foodland carpark today and they stuffed the rear bar (broke the clips, cracked the bar). Now i've had enough so I want it gone by the weekend. Obviously I want to trade it in and i've found a car that I like.

    I found a low km 1 female owner MY96 liberty. The thing is thanks to the reversing incident the value of the VS is now lower anyway so im 2 or 3 grand short of being able to have this car by the weekend.

    So should I just go for dealer finance? Or go to my credit union and get a personal loan?

    Whats better and why? If theres not much difference i'll just go dealer finance as its only a small amount and I cant be bothered going to too much hassle.

    i found the dealer finance to be the same rate as most banks and easy to deal with

    Personal loans may have lower interest than dealer finance. But that depends on where you get the loans from.

    See which ones are cheaper then go for that cheap one.

    Dealer finance is in the most part on par with a personal loan in regards to interest rates.

    You may however benefit insurance wise going for a personal loan,because as far as the premium goes,you own the car.
    As every insurance company operates under different guidelines it may pay to check with yours to see if this is the case.

    Unless you go a loan for 12 months, i wouldn't do either..too bloody expensive.

    I took the just on 10k balance to pay for the senator over a 12 month personal loan, costing me almost nothing
