[@kevinandilemediahouse]

Thank you David for this episode. I am 29 years old and I don’t drive because I feel like I don’t need a car. I stay next to Gautrain in Rosebank. There’s Uber if I want to go to another Malls. When I visit home in KZN I fly or take a bus. I am not even thinking 💭 f buying a car maybe when I’m 31 years old. Right now I’m focusing on buying a property 😁. I don’t do things because of my friends but for myself.

[@lindelanibramley3446]

I think people who give this advice also don’t know . Balloon payment is not all that bad . Just don’t wait until the final installment date where they’ll need lump sum . You can call the bank and ask them to recalculate and make projections on how much you can pay extra to get to the ballon payment same time with the normal installment you paying . Usually you need to do that on year 3/4 if you financed for 6 years . Also if you pay extra into your car loan without telling the bank they might consider it as advance payment and it will just sit there and not reduce your monthly payment or reduce your loan until you give them an instruction what you want that money to do . I paid 4k extra on my car on year 3 after letting the bank know that I want to reach my balloon payment before the final installment. They made calculations for me . Also take balloon payment if you don’t want to own the car because you will sell it or trade it in maybe after 3 years so no need to pay full installment on a car you won’t keep. If you want to keep it then call the bank and make extra payments years before you reach final loan term repayment .

[@bafanaisaac8092]

Not that I am in favor of balloon payment but yah you are right more especially on the fact that if you are not intending on keeping the car, then Ballon works on your favor. They should be pros and cons for everything so why they only touch base only the cons.

[@menzistogumede5191]

I would say if you have R50 000, in the third year, pay it, unless you are a good investor and you can identify an investment that can beat your interest rate charged by bank. My car finance is at 11%. And I am not likely to find a 11% return in the market , so it means if my car had a residual it would make sense for me to pay it as soon as possible to save on interest. Another thing which we need to high light is that paying off debt has the save effect as investing. Coz if you were paying interest of R10 000 p.a to a creditor ,paying it off means you have made R10 000 return on your money without even investing, simply because you no longer have to give it to Absa, or Nedbank or Wesbank etc.

[@reneilwetotwe1725]

My understanding is that you are charged the interest on the total cost of the car (R200 000 as per the given example), so whether you pay the residual (R50 000) on the third year or not, it will not save you any interest. Hence the suggestion of saving, that way you will gain off of the invested R50 000. You will only save on interest if you pay any portion of the R150 000 earlier. I stand to be corrected.

[@menzistogumede5191]

@@reneilwetotwe1725 Im not talking from first hand experience coz I have never had a balloon on a car. But from my experience working with banks in financing of building loans. There whats called interim interest , how this works is that say you are approved for R200 000 , and the loan is 5 years, they start charging interest on your account and capitalize it even during the building project ,before you start paying your loan, but people generally dont know this. Now coming back to car financing. Remember that VW gets paid by Absa Vehicle Finance on your behalf, and in my understanding you then owe them. But when they buy you a R200 000 car, thats how much capital they have assigned to your name and they should start making moneny from the first month they gave that to the dealer. In the banking system there is literally no amount of money that can sit under a person's name without and be reported on their books as loan without it attracting an interest. But there are my ways to skin a cat ,so this R50k amount in my mind can be understood as a deffered loan for which an interest portion is still payable concurrent with the normal installment. Im not a banker myself but this to me would make sense knowing how banks work in general terms. But hey, I could be wrong

[@ElReverseGamz]

Know what happens when you want buy a car cash...do you need to go to the dealership or Bank ?

[@thembamazibuko5999]

What happens after the prescribed judgment has been removed, let's say from Westbank...would you still apply for the car finance with the Westbank? Is it removed from the credit bureaus or from their banking system?

[@goodlifemoney-masteryacade2191]

Hi Themba, the judgment is not prescribed since it's already a legal action. But if the car is repossessed BEFORE judgment is taken (typical illegal Repossession). Then the shortfall can prescribed as per those 4 requirements I mentioned. Upon a successful 'claim' or 'defense' on prescription, we update major credit bureaus. Not creditors. It's the creditors' responsibility to update their systems consistently with the credit bureaus. *** When it comes to assets financing (like car or house)... Any bank can finance you... Even if you don't have a banking history with them. In most cases those banks are the ones to approve your application and give better lending terms... Don't get too stuck up on bank loyalty...😉

[@thembamazibuko5999]

Ok thank you for the reply, very enlightening... What if the Westbank doesn't update the judgment shortfall that you owe from their side, after it has prescribed, while the bureaus has completely removed the shortfall prescribed judgment, can the bank still see your credit history with them and Make a decision from that if they could approve you or not?
