How car loans work in Canada
A car loan is money borrowed to buy a vehicle, usually with the vehicle itself as security. That security is why car loans often cost less than an unsecured personal loan of the same size: if you stop paying, the lender can take the car. The trade-off is real, because losing the vehicle can cost you far more than the loan.
Dealer finance, bank or credit union
All three routes exist, and none is automatically cheapest.
- Dealer financing. Convenient, and sometimes subsidised by the manufacturer. Compare the rate against the cash price of the car.
- Bank or credit union loan. You shop as a cash buyer, which can sharpen the price negotiation.
- Line of credit. Flexible if you already have one, but the rate may move with the market.
- Alternative lender. An option when mainstream lenders decline, usually at a higher cost.
New, used and the length of the term
A new vehicle loses value quickly, so a long term can leave you owing more than the car is worth. A used vehicle costs less but may need repairs, and older vehicles are harder to finance. Shorter terms cost more each month and less overall. The honest question is not what payment you can manage, but what the car will be worth when the loan ends.
Budget for insurance, fuel, maintenance and registration as well. The FCAC — personal loans page is a useful reminder of what a lender must disclose, including the total cost of borrowing.
Protecting yourself
Read the contract for prepayment terms, late fees and what happens if you sell the car before the loan is paid. If a payment looks unaffordable, say so before you sign rather than after. A vehicle is a need for many people, but the loan attached to it should still fit your budget.
