Vehicle Finance

“Compare the total amount repayable, not only the advertised
interest rate or weekly repayment.”
Understanding Car Finance
What Is a Car Loan?
A car loan is a finance arrangement used to purchase an eligible vehicle. An approved lender provides funds for the purchase and the borrower repays the loan over an agreed term.
Car loans may be secured against the vehicle or offered as unsecured personal finance. Rates, fees, loan terms and repayment amounts differ according to the lender and applicant.

Loan Structures
Secured and Unsecured Car Finance
Secured Car Loan
A secured car loan uses the financed vehicle as security for the loan. The vehicle must generally satisfy the lender’s age, value and condition requirements.
- The vehicle is generally used as loan security.
- Vehicle age and value requirements may apply.
- The lender may repossess the vehicle if the borrower defaults.
Unsecured Personal Loan for a Car
An unsecured loan does not generally use the vehicle as specific security, although lender eligibility and credit assessment still apply.
- May provide flexibility for selected vehicle types.
- Pricing may differ from secured car finance.
- Approval depends on income, expenses and credit history.

Car Loan Eligibility
What Lenders May Consider
Every lender applies its own eligibility, serviceability and vehicle-acceptance criteria.
Do not commit to a non-refundable vehicle purchase until formal
finance approval and all lender conditions have been confirmed.
Income and Employment
Lenders assess the amount, source and reliability of your regular income.
Living Expenses
Household expenses and existing financial commitments affect affordability.
Credit History
Repayment conduct, credit enquiries and adverse credit events may influence lender assessment.
Existing Liabilities
Credit cards, mortgages, personal loans and other debts are considered.
Vehicle Age and Value
The lender may have limits relating to the vehicle’s age, condition, mileage and market value.
Vehicle Seller
Dealership and private-sale transactions may have different requirements.
Deposit
A deposit may be required depending on the applicant, vehicle and loan-to-value position.
Residency or Visa Status
Citizenship, residency and visa requirements differ between lenders.

Consider the Vehicle Cost and the Full Loan Commitment
Your car budget should account for more than the loan repayment. Registration, insurance, fuel, maintenance, servicing and other running expenses can affect affordability.
Choose a vehicle and loan amount that remain manageable within your household or business budget.
✓
Review the total amount repayable over the full loan term.
✓
Allow for insurance, registration, servicing and running costs.
✓
Understand any balloon or residual payment at the end of the term.
✓
Check whether early repayment fees or additional repayment limits
apply.
✓
Avoid applying through multiple lenders within a short period.
