Saving Money For Car Down Payment

Students planning to buy a new or used car should plan ahead of time and start saving money for a downpayment.  The rule of the thumb is that higher the downpayment, lower the interest rate on your loan.  It is also easier to get a car loan.  If your car loan is approved easily then you can bargain for a car pirce with your local car dealer.  Below are some money saving tips:

  • Start saving 12-24 months ahead of the time you would like to buy a car.
  • Save money by working part time and/or during the summer.
  • Ask grandparents to give you cash instead of a chirstmas or birthday gift.
  • Avoid buying any expensive clothes or video games.
  • Start investing in stock markets and use the proceeds to pay for your new car.
  • Start a small business.  Save money made in business to buy a new car.
  • Open a higher interest earning savings account in a bank other than your primary bank.  Save regularly.
