Manufacturer Loans

Manufacturer Loans

Through its network of dealerships, offering 22 different automotive brands, Birchwood has access to manufacturer loans towards the purchase of a new vehicle.

Manufacturer loans have the advantage of offering fantastic interest rates, often being parcelled with incentives and other promotions, and even being combined with loyalty programs for repeat customers of the same brand.

Manufacturer loans allow customers to finance the base price of the vehicle and may also include the cost of additional vehicle options, added costs, such as shipping and PDI, and even the sales taxes on a vehicle.

Bank Loans

Bank Loans

Through its relationships with Canadian banks, Birchwood is able to offer automotive financing on new and pre-owned vehicles through bank loans. Bank loans are similar to manufacturer loans in that they can be put towards the purchase price of a vehicle and are available to approved borrowers with different terms such as payment schedule and term, but are usually applied to pre-owned vehicles. Bank loans usually have the benefit that they can be paid off early in-full at any time, and carry the advantage that once the loan is paid off, the vehicle is yours to keep, trade or sell.

Sometimes, challenges in life can make owning a vehicle difficult. If your credit has been impacted negatively by things such as unexpected expenses or divorce, it’s possible that vehicle ownership has been made difficult by rejection for credit on a conventional vehicle loan. In these scenarios, make sure to speak with Birchwood Credit. Unlike other automotive dealerships who will often sell your information to an outside loan provider in alternative credit situations, Birchwood provides credit itself, meaning you get credit from someone who’s credible. Birchwood Credit’s process is fast with an easy application and no obligation.

Leasing vs Financing: What's best for you?

Leasing Benefits

  1. Access to the Latest Technology
    Leasing an electric vehicle allows you to drive a new model every few years, ensuring you benefit from the latest advancements in EV technology and efficiency.
  1. Warranty Coverage
    Most leased EVs come with a comprehensive factory warranty, which helps avoid costly repairs and provides confidence in the vehicle’s performance.
  1. Depreciation Protection
    Leasing an EV protects you from the effects of future depreciation, allowing you to return the vehicle at the end of the lease term without worrying about its resale value or trade-in value.
  1. Tax Benefits and Incentives
    Business owners can enjoy significant tax deductions when leasing electric vehicles, and individuals who lease an EV qualify for certain government incentives.

Financing Benefits

  1. Ownership Investment
    Financing an electric vehicle allows you to build equity, as your payments contribute toward full ownership, making it a valuable long-term investment, especially with the growing demand for EVs.
  1. Elimination of Payments
    Once your loan is paid off, you will have no more monthly payments, providing financial freedom and enabling you to allocate your budget toward other expenses.
  1. Customization
    Financing your EV gives you the flexibility to modify and personalize your vehicle, allowing you to tailor it to your preferences and needs, unlike leased vehicles that typically have restrictions.
  1. No Mileage Restrictions
    Financing an EV means you won’t face mileage limits, making it ideal for frequent travelers. This freedom allows for unlimited driving without incurring additional fees.
  1. Government Incentives
    The federal and provincial government offers rebates and incentives for purchasing electric vehicles, which can significantly reduce the overall cost.
