Reasons for Paying for a New Car in Cash

May 25, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

 

A new car could be quite expensive. It is why most people suspend their plans to buy a new one until they are sure that they can afford it. The good thing is, with car financing options you do not need to shoulder the expense in one go. You can divide the cost across various months until you finish paying the loan.

Although car financing is a good option, you need to consider paying for the vehicle in cash. These are some reasons why cash payment could be beneficial for you.

You could lose the discount

Car dealers might offer you a financing option so that you can take the car now and pay monthly for the next few years. They might even provide a low or zero interest rate. Although it is a good thing, the problem is that they might sell the vehicle at a high price. You are probably losing any potential discount in the process. If you still want to get a discount, it would be best if you stick with a cash payment.

You cannot deduct auto loans from your taxes

With a mortgage and student loans, you can deduct the interest payments from the primary income and compute the taxes from the reduced amount. However, it does not apply to auto loans. You do not get tax deductions with this type of loan.

Your car continues to depreciate

The good thing about cash payment is that you own the vehicle and you no longer need to worry about paying for the entire cost over the next few years. When you opt for car financing, you might regret it because your car continues to depreciate. Eventually, you will end up paying for a vehicle that is not as valuable as it used to be.

Paying the interest could be a risk

Given the interest rate that you need to pay, you could end up messing with your finances. You will reach a point when you cannot pay the bills on time and end up with lots of charges, making it even more difficult for you to finish paying off the loan. The interest payment could be useful for other things like retirement plans and a larger home.

You remove your safety net

You are not sure if you can keep your job forever. You might end up losing it for whatever reason. If you have enough savings at that point, you know you will survive. Your savings could serve as your safety net. The problem is when you are dealing with an auto loan that you need to continue paying. Your entire savings could go on those payments. Before you know it, your safety net will be gone. When paying for the car in cash, you only think about it once, and you will not have anything more to worry about.

Think hard before you decide if you will pay in cash or opt for car financing. You can check out a Jeep Dealer Wyoming offers for prices and financing information if you currently reside in the state, to make a comparison.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
