Fredericton car loan FAQs
You need to be 18 or older, a Canadian resident, and fully licensed. You also need employment income of at least $1,500 per month.
Of course. That’s the goal of our service: to make it easier for drivers with bad credit to get the auto financing they need. As long as you meet our car loan requirements (listed above), we’ll match you with an auto dealer based in Fredericton or wherever else you live in New Brunswick.
No. The car loan you get approved for through our site can only be used to purchase a car, not to refinance a car you already have.

Yes. We work with an exclusive network of licensed dealerships located in Fredericton and throughout New Brunswick. All the dealerships in our network specialize in car loans for Canadians with impaired credit (or no credit at all). So don’t worry — the dealership you’re matched with will always be a good fit.
Yes. The longer your car loan term, the cheaper your monthly payments. And the opposite is true for shorter car loans.
Longer car loan terms (48 months or more) break your principal balance (amount owed) into smaller payments, but you also have to make more payments — and you’re charged interest on each payment.

Fredericton car loan tips
A shorter term forces you to make bigger monthly contributions toward your loan. And that’s a good thing. You’ll quickly pay off your car loan debt and reduce the amount you have to spend on interest.
Avoid a situation where you’re still paying off your car loan after you’ve moved on from the actual car. For example, if you plan on replacing your car after 4 years, don’t spread your loan across a 6-year term.
Get to know the car you’re interested in. Check its safety ratings, get a car insurance quote, and read consumer reviews. If you still want to buy it, get an inspection from a qualified mechanic.
Some Fredericton residents are eligible for an HST credit. If you’re getting a credit this year, earmark that money for your car loan payments or other car ownership costs (gas, insurance, repairs, etc.).
Fredericton car loan myths
- Getting a bad credit auto loan will further damage my credit. False. As long as you consistently make your payments on time, your credit will not be damaged by getting a bad credit auto loan. A record of good payment habits will actually help you repair your credit.
- Car loans for brand-new vehicles tend to have higher interest rates. False. Actually, car loans for used cars have higher interest rates. That’s partly due to the fact that used car buyers often have lower credit scores and therefore pose a greater risk to lenders.
- It’s always cheaper to buy a vehicle privately because there’s no sales tax. False. There is tax on private vehicle sales in New Brunswick. If you buy a car privately, you’ll have to pay 15% PVT (Provincial Vehicle Tax).
- It’s hard to get an auto loan for a used car. False. In fact, the process is just as easy as getting an auto loan for a new car. Actually, the process is pretty much the same.
