Auto Finance Loan Advice

As I had decided to have a new car of my own I was considering about taking a loan. My funds were falling short for me to buy a car on my own. I had to decide whether I should go for a loan or a lease. I finally decided on the loan option as I did not have enough savings to buy a new car or even a used one, which was about 4 to 5 years old. I was even having a problem to put in a down payment for the vehicle. Leasing never came into my mind as it needs a certain financial status to qualify the lease options.
For loans, there are few things one has to know about the car or automobile financing. First there are few options while obtaining the loan. There is the car dealer that has their own financial section that can approve the loan through a bank or privately. The other option is, the loan has already been granted by the bank prior to the buying. Here one has to look that for the first option one has to pay a little more interest as the dealers have their own banks to do this work, and they are the ones who can provide loans when the banks have refused. In the second case the only drawback will be that one will have to look for the car within the loan budget including the closing costs of car buying that are the taxes, fees and other miscellaneous charges. It becomes difficult at times to buy a car one wants as the amount is locked and have to be happy at buying whatever is available.
