Don't pay over the odds on a Car loan
Many people know only too well what a nightmare it can be to be stuck with an unreliable vehicle that keeps breaking down or grinding to a halt as you try to get across that busy junction – in fact, some people find themselves stuck with a car that is positively unsafe. However, the situation can prove difficult when you need a vehicle to get to work and back and often people assume that they are stuck with the car because they don’t have any savings to purchase another one.
Of course, this is not the case, and there are a number of options available for those that wish to purchase a newer vehicle. Even those with bad credit can get finance for a vehicle these days. However, there are some things to bear in mind when it comes to taking out a car loan. If you decide to opt for a car loan direct from a dealership there are a couple of main disadvantages to consider. The first is that you won’t have a great deal of choice when it comes to which vehicle to buy, because you will have to opt for a vehicle from the dealership through which you are taking the finance. The other main negative about taking on a car loan from car dealerships is that they can be very costly in terms of interest rates, and you could end up paying through the nose for your car finance. Also there is the fact the finance is secured against the car, so actually the car does not become yours until you have made the very last payment.
Anyone looking for good value car loan could find that taking out an any purpose loan could prove more financially viable. You can take out a loan to purchase a car from one of a range of lenders, and by doing this you are not tied to buying a vehicle from any particular dealership, so you can enjoy far better choice. You may also be able to enjoy better value on car loan than you would get from a dealership, which means that you get to buy the car that you want and you get to enjoy value for money on your borrowing.

10 tips on saving and making more money
Money has become a big problem for many households over recent months, as the effects of rising living costs and bills continue to take their toll. It is essential for most people to try and cut back on the amount that they pay out or increase the amount that comes in so that financial management becomes easier.
In fact, you could enjoy even greater benefits by both cutting back on your outgoings and increasing your income, and below are some tips that could help you to do this:
1. Get rid of unwanted items in the home. We are all guilty of having loads of clutter, most of it unwanted, in the home, and some have more than others. However, as the old saying goes one man's junk is another man's treasure, and you could find that you are able to sell the items and bring in some cash. You can do this via eBay or at a car boot sale, and you could be surprised at how much this brings in.
2. Earn money using your talents. If you are blessed with a particular talent, such as playing a musical instrument, art, computer repair knowledge, etc. you could use this to bring in extra money. Carry out computer repairs in your spare time, offer your artistic skills to create paintings for people, or start teaching others how to play the musical instrument that you play.
3. Brush up on your DIY skills. It is amazing how many things need doing around the house each week, and many people spend a fortune each year on getting these jobs done. However, by learning about DIY or even taking a course at your local college you could save on the cost of having to get someone else to carry out many of these repairs.
4. Avoid trying to keep up with your friends and neighbours. You will be surprised at how many people end up spending a fortune just to keep up with their friends and neighbours. If this is something that you have done then you need to adopt a new attitude and basically stop buying things that you cannot really afford just because someone else has it.
5. Change your vehicle. If you have a high spec, high cost vehicle that has already cost you a fortune and continues to cost you big bucks in terms of insurance, petrol, and maintenance costs, then it may be worth downgrading. You could sell the car, use the money to buy a cheaper car, and save money on the cost of your insurance and petrol. A car with a CO2 emission of say 99g/km currently qualifies for £0.00 a year rod tax, and from 27th October 2008, it will be exempt from the London congestion charge. You may be surprised what cars come into this class; it does not mean you would have to drive a miniature car, some 1.4TDI's fall in this bracket of vehicle.
6. Get on your bike. Unless getting to work involves a two hour drive on the motorway you could save a fortune and get fit by getting a bike and riding it to work instead of using the car. You could save a fortune in petrol, plus enjoy the healthy and environmental benefits. These days you can even get a part petal / part motorised bike, so you can get around without having to pedal id you wish / arriving at work in need of a shower!
7. Reduce the amount that you drink. You can cut back on your outgoings by reducing the amount that you drink, and again this can also aid your health. If you tend to drink at pubs a lot, try and cut back on how often you go as well as on the amount that you drink. Also, if you tend to drink at home cut back on the amount that you buy and consume, as buying lots of booze can soon bump the shopping bill up.
8. Give up cigarettes. Let's face it these things are not only potentially deadly but they cost a fortune. You will save a huge sum of money by cutting out smoking, and it should also work wonders for your health. Work out how much you spend on cigarettes each year, and think of what else you could spend the money on!
9. Use the library more. Although it is nice to build up a collection of books it is also worth considering the great choice that is available in the local library. You don’t have to go out and purchase every book you want to read – pop to the library and borrow it for free.
10. Don't go overboard with the lottery. Of course, we all dream of winning the lottery and we have to be in it to win it. However, do bear in mind that the chances of winning are extremely remote, and whilst there is nothing wrong in putting on a line or two each week you should avoid getting carried away and shelling out four or five pounds every time one of the three lottery days comes around.
