Is it wise to take out a home equity loan to buy a new car?

Nope. You should take on as little debt as possible.

A good rule of thumb for cars: If you can't pay it off in 3 years, it's too expensive for you.

No, unless you really need a car, otherwise it is digging yourself into debt needlessly.

Probably not, the deferred amount that you would eventually pay for the car would be double the initial cost of the car.
There are lots of good deals out there. GM and Ford still have zero interest loans and other rebates. This is the better way to go.


Classy Granny
You'll have to do some math, but it could be a good decision. I bought a car and financed it at 8%. Then went to my bank, took out a home equity loan at 5.75% and paid the car off. I saved over 2% interest and the home equity is tax deductable, the car loan was not.

no, save your money and pay cash for a car

Only if the interest rate is less. If you take part of the home equity loan to maintain or improve your property, then you can write of the interest and use the rest of the money for a car. I'd refinance the whole thing with cash out and pay for the car that way. Good Luck!

If you are going to buy the car anyways, and can't pay cash - then YES!

If you get a loan on your car the interest will be higher and not tax deductible.

If you get a HELOC and buy your car you will have greater negotiating power at the dealership (since you are a "cash" buyer), your interest rate will be lower and you can DEDUCT the interest on your tax return!

However, as others have said, if you don't need the car - or can pay cash - then wait... don't go into debt if you don't have to.... but if you are going to get a loan anyways you shoudl get the one with the most benefits!
