Mortgage Equity or Personal Loan to finance a car
Hi I've just used £22,000 in equity to buy a car but can't help thinking I'd be better off using a personal loan. I am mindful I'll pay more over the term of the mortgage but monthly repayments will be lower vs. paying higher monthly amount but less interest. Total cost of loan dilemma ??????

How long is your equity loan taken for?
It's a no brainer that a personal loan will be cheaper if you are borrowing for more than 5 years but as you presumably have already paid the fees etc with taking out an equity loan????????0 -
ejones is right. The longer the term, the more interest. You should only take this equity loan over a maximum of 5 years. This will factor the depreciation costs of the car.
Why did'nt you just carry out hire purchase? It seems you have brought a brand new car?Motto: 'If you don't ask, you don't get!!'

presumably the mortgage deal was at a low APR... if you can overpay the mortgage then you can combine benefits of the low rate with reducing the the loan period.EU tariff on agricultual product 12.2%
