Can I use my home loan to buy a car?
We’re a little tight on money right now, but we need a second car for my partner’s new commute. Can I use my home loan to buy a car?

You can use your home loan to buy a car. Now, whether it’s worth it or not will be up to you and your partner’s discretion. It can be a much more risky way to purchase a car than using a traditional
auto loan
. If you can’t make the auto loan payment, not only will you lose your car, but your lender can foreclose your house. Also keep in mind that cars depreciate, and the long-term nature of the home loan means you’ll be paying way too much money for the value of the car.
With all of that said, there are some benefits, like flexible terms and potentially lower interest rates.
While you can use your home’s equity to buy a car, whether you should or not is a personal decision and one that should be made with care. If you do decide to go through with it though and want some help saving money on your new car’s insurance,
