Is It Fear Tactics Or Helpful Advice? Why You Should Secure The Best Rate Now

Posted on , updated on by carbroker

2022 hasn’t started off very well. Although we finally ditched COVID, we’ve been hit with headlines about monkeypox, international conflicts and, of course, rising interest rates. And while the first two are far more important in the scheme of things, it’s the rising interest rates that have the most direct effect on Aussies.

This leaves a tonne of questions open. What do rising interest rates mean for the average Australian? What does it mean for mortgage payers? And what does it mean for car buyers?

In this post, the team at Carbroker.com.au discuss the implications of rising interest rates and what to do if you’re thinking of taking out a car loan.

Should you buy a car in this climate?

Cars are like underwear: no matter what, you’ll always need them. It’s a strange comparison, but what we’re trying to say is that you can’t just go without a car – just like you can’t (or at least you shouldn’t) go without underwear.

So, if you need a new car, then you need a new car. And now might be the time to invest in one.

Interest rates on the rise

Interest rates are on the rise and many experts expect that they’ll continue to increase for the next several months. If this theory is right, then you can expect to pay much more for your car loan in the months to come than if you were to take out a loan now and lock in a good interest rate. So, what should you do?

Well, we can’t give tailored advice in this article; obviously, we don’t know your financial situation, aims for the future, and all that jazz.

But if you’ve been on the hunt for a new ride for a while, then it may be a good time to pull the trigger and lock in an interest rate while you can get it.

It’s not just fear tactics…

If interest rates keep going up, which many are predicting will happen, then you can expect to pay a lot more on your car loan if you hesitate. If interest rates double or triple in the next few months, then you could be seriously paying the price in added loan repayments.

Testimonials

I would like to thank you and your organisation for your assistance in the purchase of my new Hyundai Tiburon. As you are aware, I am Sales Manager of a busy company in Brisbane, and I did not have to leave my office once during the 4 days it took to find the car,organise trade-in,arrange for extras and deliver the car. I would have no hesitation in recomending your organisation to both, my friends and interested parties looking to purchase a new car. Thanks again and good luck in the future

B.R., Brisbane

Your prompt and professional service was very appreciated, and we will recommend your service on to our friends and family.

C.K., Melbourne

Picking up car on Friday. Saved >$3000. Thanks for everything. Would recommend process highly. Thanks!

H.M., Brisbane

It is a sorely needed service as we have had nothing but stress and grief with the dealers we have approached ourselves.

J.F., Melbourne

Negotiating a deal with a professional car salesman is tough and time-consuming, especially if you don't have a lot of local experience. Having someone act on your behalf creates an advantage that can't be ignored, and I have to say the $4,900 saving that I achieved off a $43,300 vehicle via Carbroker.com.au is definitely worth the minimal cost of registering an interest at the Carbroker.com.au web site. Thanks to Chris Wilson for this much-appreciated service.

C.P., Sydney

Don't know how you achieve your prices but it certainly makes a difference, avoids the hassle of dealing with salesmen and has been excellent value for money. Will definitely recommend your services to family and friends.

A.J., Melbourne

Being a single woman, the thing I appreciated most was not being ripped off by sleazy car salesmen. I actually paid much less than a guy working in my office who bought (almost) the same car!

L.R., Sydney

I took delivery of the new car today. Until it actually happened I had a concern at the back of my mind that it was too good to be true to get the car at the price you obtained for me, with no catches. The dealer rep has been great and I have had no sense of getting cut price service to go with the low price. So, thank you. I am sold and based on my experience I am sure your business will continue to grow simply by word of mouth....mine will be among the loudest.

P.B., Sydney

Thank you again. I could not have asked for better service. Having been faced with unhelpful dealers it was just so easy to place a Internet request on Thursday and to be in a new car Monday afternoon, it was more than I could have asked for. I would definitely recommend the services that you provide, without hesitation.

P.H., Canberra

...your professionalism and responsiveness is incredible... exceeding my expectations that were already quite high due to the information available, and style and tone of your website.
