In order to accurately estimate your monthly Car Loan repayments, the purchase price that you enter should include the on-road costs that you will incur on taking posession of the car.
Stamp Duty, Car Registration and Comprehensive Car Insurance are examples of on-road costs that you can include.
If you are buying a car with either a cash deposit or a trade-in vehicle to offer as a contribution toward the car purchase, the amount left to borrow will be lower.
Car loan repayments will be lower with a trade-in or a deposit and, whilst you having equity in the vehicle isn't generally a prerequisite for a car loan, it can make it easier to qualify for car finance in some cases.
Bad Credit Car Loans and car finance for young drivers are examples of where a deposit or trade-in would make it easier to qualify for a car loan.
Car Loan Finance contracts typically run in the range of 2-5 yrs, however longer and shorter finance terms can usually be negotiated.

Note: The Car Loan Calculator does not make allowance for a Loan Residual value. If you wish to simulate a Car Loan that includes a Residual, please use our Car Lease Repayment Calculator.
