I was looking to get a loan for a new car before we went into lockdown. Now the interest rates have dropped is it still wise to take out a loan even though I don’t know when I’ll be able to purchase the car? I think a loan would be cheaper than finance in the long run. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Wait until you can buy a car before worrying about the finance.
Use the time to save. That way, you'll need to borrow less.1 -
It is never wise to borrow before you need it. Interest rates have gone down but banks' sensitivity to risk has gone up so rates are not necessarily that low right now as there is so much uncertainty.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
