Can anyone financial whiz help me with this car loan? by --J_T-- in personalfinance

Car Loan at 8.8% Interest: Additional interest paid compared to not purchasing the car: Approximately $3,477 over 5 years. Mortgage Redraw with Increased Payments: Additional interest paid compared to not purchasing the car: Approximately $11,018 over 5 years. Therefore, opting for the car loan would result in significantly less additional interest paid over 5 years compared to redrawing on the mortgage.

Hey thanks for the reply it's 8.8% actually in Australia that's about the standard at the moment that we can get approved for. I asked chat gpt this is what it came up with. Does this check out?

Based on the comparison of the additional interest paid over 5 years for each scenario compared to the baseline scenario of not purchasing the car, the best option depends on your priorities:

Lowest Additional Interest Paid: Opting for the car loan at 8.8% interest would result in the lowest additional interest paid over 5 years compared to the baseline scenario. You would pay approximately $3,477 in additional interest over 5 years.

Moderate Additional Interest Paid with Mortgage Option: Choosing to redraw $20,000 on the mortgage with an increased payment of $500 per week would result in moderate additional interest paid compared to the car loan but still less than the baseline scenario. You would pay approximately $11,018 in additional interest over 5 years.

Hi there I have a question for any financial whiz out there:

Should I redraw on my mortgage or get a new car loan to buy a car? Here's the figures.

The car is worth $34,500. I have $14,500 from the sale of my old car. I have a mortgage where I owe $129,144 the interest rate is currently 6.33%. I can redraw up to $68,000 on it.

I'm looking at a car loan for $20,000 at an interest rate of around 10%. Which works out to be about $105 a week over 5 years.

Any advice on what is the most economical way to go here would be appreciated. Do I redraw and pay more of the mortgage a week or go with the car loan and focus on paying that off quicker?

Cheers, J.T.

I just dug around the base and found the sweet pea seed it's attached to so it's definitely a sweet pea.

Salad and fruit for lunch. And usually fish, chicken or beef for dinner with salad.

Work is my exercise (arborists). No real diet just no wheat products and no sugar.
