Written by John Mussi

Continued from page 1

There are three different types of car loan:

Manufacturers' schemes

Part exchanges on your current vehicle are normally accepted, and repparttar 141457 remaining balance is paid through a loan. As with a hire purchase scheme, you will not be repparttar 141458 owner of repparttar 141459 vehicle until you have repaid repparttar 141460 loan in full. If you default on repayments, repparttar 141461 car will be repossessed.

Hire purchase (HP)

This sort of car loan is arranged by car dealerships, and in effect it means that you are hiring repparttar 141462 car from repparttar 141463 dealer until repparttar 141464 final payment on repparttar 141465 loan has been paid.
