A bad credit score can cause you to pay much higher loan interest rates Thanks, peter Hi,

Your mortgage is over a long period of time and you will only have your car for say three or four years. You will almost certainly owe more on your car than it is actually worth for most if not all of that time At present the in housing market prices are going down and you will possibly have negative equity in your house, I do not know about the financial calculations because I do not have the mathematical knowledge to work it out Instinctively I thought the answer to be no.

It makes no sense to try to add the cost of the car to your mortgage--none whatsoever! However, you could set up and use a HELOC(Home Equity Line of Credit). It is usually cheaper(lower interest rate) than the standard car loan and can be paid back over a longer period of time though I don't recommend stretching out a car loan for 15 years. The downside, of course, is that you are putting your house up as collateral and could lose it if things go wrong. Do some research an HELOC's and see if they fit your needs.

I would ask at the bank what the rates will be for you first. If you're under 80%, you can get a HELOC up to 80% and get some pretty good rates (make sure that you won't want another loan for awhile, because it will hurt your credit). Otherwise it'll probably be cheaper for you to get a car loan. (This is only speculation, ask your bank(s)). Currently my HELOC rate would cost slightly less because the HELOCs are tax deductable (up to $100k) and offer more flexibility. Don't forget that you can always pre-pay your loans. So what these people are saying about it costing you more is only relavant if you are not choosing to pay the same towards your HELOC that you'd be forced to pay on a car payment. Also, all loans are "front-loaded" because you owe more when you start and you are making consistant payments (so more of it is interest when you start, and as you get it paid down, you owe less...so you pay interest on less).

Generally the length of a loan for car purchases are 3 to 5 years while mortgages are 15-30. You may pay more in monthly payments with a car loan but, overall, you'll pay less for the car with a separate loan. Mortgage loans are front loaded with interest (meaning your payments for a number of years are mostly interest payments and the reduction of the principal is negligible).

They then add it to what you owe them thus paying the same rate as your mortgage.

To add to your mortgage your lender will charge fees you need to factor that into the cost. How long does your mortgage have to run? Do you want to be paying for a car for that long? The key factor is what will be the total cost including interest and fees. Depends how much you need to borrow.
