Lenders offer motor vehicle finance over terms of 1 to 7 years. The term will determine the amount of each repayment and the total interest payable. The shorter the term, the larger each repayment will be, but the loan will be finalised sooner. The longer the term, the smaller each repayment and it will take longer to wholly own the vehicle. Borrowers can request their preferred term, but lenders will include approval of the term when assessing the application. Payment intervals may be on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. Loan applicants can select the repayment schedule that best suits their budget and income cycle. To see how the finance term affects your loan, use the calculator to see repayments based on different terms.
For example, a $30,000 loan at 6.75% with a term of 4 years involves monthly repayments of $715. A $30,000 loan at 6.75% with a term of 5 years involves monthly repayments of $591. Some loans may include a balloon which reduces the repayments and is payable as a lump sum after the final scheduled repayment is finalised.
