Vehicle loans have been designed to help you fulfill your dream of buying your dream car. They are designed specifically to cater to your financial needs. In a world where a sweeping number of people are taking loans, it is important to understand whether one should choose a short or a long tenure for car loans.What Are The Advantages & Disadvantages of a Short Term Loan?Unlike a long term car loan, you will pay a lesser rate of interest and also be paying off your debt quicker, which gives a sense of relief and pride to a lot of people.
