Car Title Loans or borrow with your car in Toronto

Next time you’re in need of some fast emergency funding, consider applying for a Vehicle Title Loan.

A Vehicle Title Loan is a loan for which your vehicle is used as collateral or security. Cars, vans, trucks and SUVs are also acceptable. It also must be fully paid off -- no liens or leases. And it must be fully insured.
Ownership and insurance have to be in your name only. If the vehicle is in another name, then the owner must come in to co-sign the loan. If the vehicle is in the name of your company, you need to provide proof of ownership.


Advantages:
  • Your loan is approved faster than an unsecured personal loan would be.
  • You enjoy full use of your car during the loan period provided that you make regular payments.
  • You are usually eligible for larger loans and lower interest rates than with unsecured personal loans.
  • The loan can usually be paid off over longer periods of time depending on the lender.
  • You can qualify for the loan even if you are in a bankruptcy, in a proposal or have a bad credit history.
  • You may qualify if you are self-employed, a pensioner or earn your income based on commissions or tips.
Defaulting on payments: What happens and what to do?

If you default on your payments without communicating with your lenders you may jeopardize possession of your car. If there is a problem making payments on time promptly contact your lenders. The lenders can suggest alternative re-payment options.



What to Look For?
Make sure your loan is open, so that you have the option of paying it off early.
Be sure the lender reports to Equifax regularly so that your payments can help you rebuild your creditworthy status.
Make sure that the lender will work with you in the event of an illness, a job loss or other unforeseen misfortune that impacts your ability to repay.

Snow Tires Mean Safer Driving and Saving Money


It’s that time of year again - time to pay attention to the first snowfall of the winter and buy a set of winter tires for your car.If you think they’re a costly investment, think again:: they’re much less expensive than getting into a car accident would be.

Best for snow, slush and ice

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can get through winter unscathed by continuing to use your all-season tires. Winter tires are much better at getting your car through snow, slush and ice. They give you that extra traction, braking and handling that you need when driving in winter weather.
Winter tires have specialized rubber compounds and tread designs to cope with the cold weather. The tread stays flexible, preventing snow buildup and maintaining traction on ice.

Tests done on ice demonstrate that even at the slow speed of 24 km/h, vehicles with winter tires stopped from 1/2 to a full car-length sooner than the same vehicles with all-season tires. If your car isn’t equipped with winter tires, you’re more likely to fishtail in corners and spin out of control on icy patches.
If you’re concerned about the price of winter tires, then do some comparison shopping. You can go to a warehouse store, check prices on the Internet and travel across the border to the U.S. You might be able to benefit from shopping rebates offered by manufactures.

But don’t wait for the first big snowstorm of the season. You don’t want to face the premium prices that will await other motorists who left their tire-buying too late.

Four winter tires, not two
It may be tempting to save money by buying just two winter tires, but that’s a bad idea. It can cause your vehicle to spin unexpectedly because of the greater grip of the two winter tires.
When you do put on winter tires, be sure to maintain them. Keep them properly inflated so that you get the best wear. When you take them off, store them in plastic bags that are stacked horizontally.
Don’t assume that other features can offset the lack of winter tires. ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), traction control, and vehicle dynamics control systems are limited by the grip your tires can provide.
There’s a faulty assumption among owners of SUVs and other 4WD vehicles that they provide all the safety necessary when driving on ice. Not so. A 4WD vehicle will help you get started from a full stop and will partially help you around corners, but it won’t enable you to stop or slow down more quickly.

Remember: winter tires are a motorist’s best friend in ice and snow.
