UK motorists missing out with finance loans

Feb. 19, 2008 - PRLog -- Research shows that motorists in the UK could be paying over 3% more for finance loans on motor vehicles, rather than shopping for an unsecured loan.

The consumer research company estimates that motorists will waste £174 million this March as a result of not shopping around for a low-rate personal loan – choosing a loan carefully could save individual borrowers over a £1000.

Stephanie Rogers of Loan Genie commented:

“The ideal solution would be for motorists to save the money to buy a new car outright, thus avoiding interest altogether. Unfortunately this is not always possible, so choosing a competitive personal loan, instead of plumping for the finance deal, can sometimes even give motorists more bargaining power.”
