If you need to borrow money for your upgrade, than I would be personally sticking to the big banks at this point in time. Non bank lenders are under a lot of pressure do to exposure to the sub prime crisis in the states. The reason why I ask if your getting a boat, is because the bank may ask for security, (generally what your buying)... not sure bout how that will work. I guess there are specialised boat financiers?? Don't spose you could hold on to what you have slightly longer? Or buy something cheaper and have more money % wise for it and less loan? |

I to am in a very similar situation, will be looking to get a $20,000 loan roughly within the next 3-4 weeks and just contemplating the different methods. Does anyone recommend any certain banks with decent interest rates?? My issue is im only very young still (19) and i have little credit history. I have a mobile phone on contract under my name and thats it, now i haven't been late with any payments for it so far.
Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated! cheers

Hi borrowed $19500 from the commbank early last year. Didn't shop around with interest rates, just thought it would be easier having all my finances tied in with one institution. It was a variable interest rate personal loan, which started at 13.4% PA. I was able to pay extra into my loan as often as I wanted, and redraw it if required. It wasn't too much hassle applying for it, I'd only held my full time job for two months but I'd had a credit card for a good five years... if that makes a difference. I paid off as much as I could as quickly as I could and managed to make my repayments within six months. I did not require any security.
Cheers

I just took out an Esanda loan at 9.5% on $37k. Interest rates will vary depending on how much you want to borrow and if the car is new or used. I was able to get Esanda to shave half a percent off due to a competitor I was considering so a decent rep does have a little room to move to get your business.
