Look for low interest rates
When shopping around for a loan, find out about the total interest payments over the length of the loan, as well as the monthly amount. The lower the interest rate, the less you'll have to repay over time.
Keep in mind that some lenders are interested in lending to people they see as an 'acceptable risk' - which means these people may secure lower interest rates. Before applying for a loan you might want to check out your credit rating to see it has no surprises in store.
