What is a secured car loan?
A secured car loan is a financing option where the vehicle you’re buying serves as collateral for the loan. It may offer lower interest rates and higher borrowing limits than unsecured loans, making it more affordable. However, if you don’t meet your repayment obligations, the lender can repossess the car to recover the outstanding debt.
