Choose a Loan That Works with Your Budget
Start with repayments you can comfortably maintain. Allow for insurance, fuel, servicing, tyres and other ownership costs alongside your regular living expenses.
Your deposit, amount borrowed, interest rate, fees and loan term all affect the cost. A longer term may reduce each repayment but can increase total interest.
Use our car loan repayment calculator to explore estimates, then check the actual written offer before deciding.
No Deposit or a Deposit Towards Your Purchase?
No deposit car finance may be available to eligible applicants. Some applications may require a deposit. Confirm whether insurance, delivery, on road costs or other charges need separate payment.
A cash deposit reduces the amount borrowed and may lower repayments and total interest. If you have a vehicle to trade, any usable equity may also contribute towards the purchase.
Using Your Trade Towards Your Next Car
We accept trade ins, including enquiries involving vehicles with finance owing. Contact us with your vehicle details so we can explain the assessment process.
Usable equity is the agreed trade value less the lender's settlement amount. If you owe more than the trade value, the difference is a shortfall that must be addressed.
Including that shortfall in replacement finance depends on approval and increases your debt. Read more about trading a car with an existing loan.
How to Apply for a Used Car Loan
- Browse vehicles or discuss your budget. You can enquire before choosing a car or apply with a particular vehicle in mind.
- Complete the online application. Provide accurate information about your income, expenses and existing financial commitments.
- Supply supporting documents. The lender may request identification, bank statements and evidence of income.
- Review any offer. Check the interest rate, fees, repayments, loan term and total amount repayable.
- Complete approval and settlement. Confirm collection or delivery once the required conditions, signed documents, settlement and vehicle preparation are complete.
A same day decision may be possible when all required information is available. Timing depends on lender hours, document checks and your circumstances. Conditional approval is different from final approval and settlement.
What to Compare Before Accepting Finance
- Amount borrowed: including any fees or extras added to the loan.
- Interest rate: the rate offered and whether it is fixed or variable.
- Fees: establishment fees, ongoing fees and other charges.
- Repayment schedule: the amount, frequency, term and any larger final payment.
- Total amount repayable: the full amount payable over the loan.
- Early repayment conditions: any charges or restrictions for extra payments or early settlement.
- Optional products: their separate cost, terms and effect on the amount borrowed.
Compare offers using the same amount borrowed and loan term where possible. Ask questions about any cost or condition you do not understand.
Buying from Outside Hamilton
You can start your application online and discuss a vehicle remotely. Ask for the condition information, service records and inspection or appraisal reports available for the specific car.
Collect from our dealership at 5 Norris Avenue, Te Rapa, Hamilton, or ask about nationwide delivery. Confirm delivery availability, charges and expected timing before completing your purchase.
Finance approval does not confirm a vehicle's mechanical condition. If you want an independent pre purchase inspection, discuss arrangements before committing.
