An Australian website has launched a range of information and advice about car finance . Carsguide.com.au includes a variety of content to help vehicle finance customers make decisions, and a range of interactive tools.

According to a press release from the site, the new car finance section includes information about car leasing, personal loans to purchase cars, and further car finance techniques. Furthermore, tools include loan and lease calculators, car trade-in values, and an interest rate comparison table.

The chief executive officer, Ed Smith, reportedly commented: Buying a car is a major financial decision for consumers, yet research found for some it can be more influenced by the emotion of the car itself than that amount consumers can afford, putting consumers at risk of spending above their means. With 35% of consumers planning to buy a car over $40,000 on their next car purchase this is a significant cost that requires planning and research on the consumer’s behalf.

He reportedly continued: We asked users what they were looking for in terms of information and advice about financing options and have tailored the section accordingly. People want trustworthy and unbiased information about borrowing options and how to fund their next car purchase, so the main focus for our section is to provide a resource for people to research and calculate the best loan option for them. Our finance section further extends on our commitment to being Australia’s most comprehensive digital automotive publisher.
