Sometimes the best way to pay for car is not getting an auto loan, but getting a home equity loan. Obviously this means you must own a house, but if you are able to borrow money against the house in the form of a home equity line of credit or second mortgage, you will be able to buy your car at a lower interest rate AND the interest is likely tax deductible. So, before you get an auto loan through your dealership or bank check out an equity loan option. It could save you money.
