When shopping for cars and exploring dealership options you will come across a whole range of ads, flashy banners and sweetest deals, you never knew even existed. It’s easy to tell the odd ones out.
But one car loan deal that seems to be gaining a lot of traction among new car buyers in Canada, and for good reason is the “Drive out your favourite car at Zero Percent Financing!”
Zero percent? It’s what it really says, a 0% APR—you buy the car at an agreed price and then continue making payments on the principal value of the vehicle without any interest. So far so good!
But things take an awkward turn soon and you realize that you should have paid more attention to the fine print instead of being blown away by how welcoming that smooth operator of a salesman was.
There’s not one, but six in total. The catch depends on a lot of factors including but not limited to the type of dealership and the dealer’s plans with the specific vehicles on offer.
Here’s what zero percent financing is all about:
Since zero percent financing deals are merely marketing tactics, dealerships benefit from them in one way or another. The most important benefit is making you walk in through that door. Once you’re inside, the selling begins.
On the other hand, some dealerships may be offering zero percent financing deals to those with impeccable credit histories just to get rid of slow moving inventory. When a car has been sitting too long in the lot, they can make a profit off of it even at zero percent!
In some cases, you might find a zero percent interest deal that’s all you’ve ever wanted, even with the catch. But qualifying might not be as easy. For starters, you need a perfect credit score—something not many of us have.
If you wish to save big on car financing but don’t have the credit score to qualify for zero percent deals, we can help you.

Driving conditions get all the press once the snow starts to fly. Slippery roads and massive snowdrifts are a pain, to be sure, but most of us lose sight of the fact that the majority of our winter driving woes happen before we ever hit the pavement. With heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and below-zero temperatures, most of your issues are caused by the snow, ice, and fog on your vehicle.
There are five factors that determine how the banks decide if you get a car loan: Work history and current income, Debt and expenses, Credit history, The vehicle you’re getting a loan for, The money you’re paying up front...
Improving your credit with a car loan isn’t just possible, it’s one of the most effective strategies available. However, it is by no means a guarantee. Car loans can be very beneficial to your credit score, but only if you handle them properly.
EDMONTON, AB – The team behind My Ride has approved more than 300,000 Canadian car loans since 2011. It’s a staggering number, made even more impressive by the fact that, until this year, the company worked almost exclusively in Alberta.
