The age of the vehicle, loan amount and overall application will have a determining result on what interest rate is offered.

An Import car loan or grey import vehicle finance is where a financial institution such as a bank, credit union or car finance company lends you the money to purchase a vehicle. Depending on the lenders finance terms, the imported car loan may be secured (where the purchased vehicle is used as collateral) or unsecured (where there is no asset held as security)
Car Loans involve repaying the loan in fixed monthly instalments over a specified loan term. The terms of the loan include the loaned amount, the interest component, and any loan set up fees.
There are a number of benefits to financing a vehicle. A car loan allows you to reduce your overall cash outlay, rather than invest your hard earned savings in a depreciating item. If you’re purchasing for business use, there are a number of taxation benefits that are associated with financing vehicles.

Many of our customers gain a pre-purchase loan approval for their import car. This allows you to shop around for the right car to suit your needs, and having the funds readily available allows you to negotiate a better price.
