Understanding Your Loan (Canadian Context)

Pre-Approval Benefits: Getting pre-approved from your bank or credit union before visiting dealerships gives you negotiating power and often better rates than dealer financing.

Canadian Auto Loan Rates: Big banks typically offer 6-8% for new cars, 8-12% for used. Credit unions often have better rates. Online lenders like Fairstone or Canada Drives can be alternatives.

Down Payment Advice: In Canada, aim for 20% down on used cars and 10% on new cars to avoid being upside-down on your loan.

AMVIC (Alberta) / OMVIC (Ontario): These regulatory bodies protect car buyers. Check if your province has similar consumer protection.

Understanding New Brunswick Car Taxes

When buying a car in New Brunswick, you'll pay 15% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) on the purchase price. This tax applies whether you're buying from a dealership or a private seller.

HST Breakdown

New Brunswick uses the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) which combines federal GST and provincial tax into a single 15% rate. This simplifies calculations - just multiply the vehicle price by 0.15 to get the tax amount.

Tips for New Brunswick Car Buyers

  • Get pre-approved first: Know your interest rate before visiting dealerships to negotiate from a position of strength.
  • Budget for total cost: Include 15% HST, insurance, registration, and maintenance in your budget.
  • Consider shorter loan terms: 4-5 year loans cost less in interest than 6-7 year loans, even with higher monthly payments.
  • Put down at least 10-20%: A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and can qualify you for better rates.
