subject: So You Want Cheap Loans [print this page] There are a lot of cheap loans available or so the vinyl banners that hang from the storefront finance companies doorway proclaim. Cheap loans are not always cheap. Generally if you see advertising for cheap loans be prepared to pay for them with the interest.
Many people consider a payday loan as a cheap way to get money between paychecks. Yes, this is an easy way to get money but generally the interest rate is not all that cheap or low. And remember when you get a payday loan you must repay that loan with your next paycheck. So this type of loan is not a viable loan for a long term loan or a consumer loan to buy furniture or other household goods.
If you really want to borrow money cheap you should borrow the money using your savings account as collateral for a loan. The interest rate on this type of secured loan would be cheaper than a consumer loan of any type. But if you have the money in a savings account and you really want that big screen television you may as well use that money to buy it and not incur any interest at all.
Often if the economy is doing poorly and car dealerships are not selling cars they will offer -0- percent financing if you are willing to buy one of their cars. Generally this loan will apply to new cars only because this is where they make their money on the car markup. They would not be offering -0- percent financing on a used car as they already had to pay some one else for that vehicle and by buying that vehicle you are not reducing their car lot inventory. So yes, if you purchase a new car using this type of financing program with -0- percent then you could consider the loan to be cheap. But remember you still have to pay for your new vehicle for about 60 months and you also have to have decent credit.
You will also often see stores that sell consumer goods offering easy credit at low interest rates because they want to move some consumer goods like furniture or a bedroom suite or a new stove or dishwasher. When these stores offer low to no interest rates they want to sell consumer goods. If they have someone already in their store looking at furniture they will often ask what will make you purchase that item or those consumer goods. If you answer well, if I had the money and you may find they are offering you a low interest loan. If you go for this type of consumer financing make sure you can afford the payment terms which may be for only a year because if you can't make those payments you will not be in possession of those goods for very long.
If you shop around for a loan that is cheap you may find you do qualify for it, just read the contract carefully.
