FAQs

Common questions

Can I get a car loan if I'm self employed?

Often, yes. A range of lenders offer car loans to self employed people. Depending on the lender, you may need recent tax returns, BAS or bank statements, and some offer low doc options if you can't provide full financials. We'll help you find lenders whose criteria suit how you earn.

Can I finance a car from a private seller?

Yes. Private sale finance works much like dealer finance, but the lender will usually check that there's no money owing on the car and may ask for an inspection or valuation. We'll guide you through what the lender needs from you and from the seller.

What is a balloon payment?

A balloon, also called a residual, is a lump sum you pay at the end of the loan. It lowers your regular repayments, but you'll pay more interest overall and need to plan for that final payment.

How long does car loan approval take?

It depends on the lender and how quickly the documents come together. Funds are often available within 24 to 48 hours once approved, subject to lender assessment and receiving all required documents. Timeframes vary by lender and application.

Can I get a car loan with bad credit?

We may be able to help. Some lenders consider applicants with past credit issues, depending on your current situation. Approval isn't guaranteed, and we'll give you an honest view of your options before you apply.

Will enquiring affect my credit score?

No. Making an enquiry with us has no impact on your credit score. A credit check only happens if you decide to go ahead with a full application, and we'll talk you through that before anything is submitted.
