applying for finance (car loan, hire
purchase, chattel mortgage, novated

Are
there any fees to apply?
There is no fee to apply for a car loan.
Can I
get my finance approved before
purchasing?
Yes, getting pre-purchase approval
before you go shopping is a good idea it
allows you to bargain on the showroom
floor.
Can I
buy a car privately? Can I buy from a
dealer?
Some used cars may require a vehicle
inspection (eg NRMA or RACQ) supplied
prior to payment, particularly those
purchased privately. This is not
required if Unsecured Loan is used.
When do
I make my first payment?
Car loan repayments are usually 14 days
(then fortnightly) after settlement of a
personal car loan. Business finance
applicants have the first monthly
repayment due on the day of settlement.
Remaining payments are deducted from
your nominated bank account.
