Overview of Financing a Privately Sold Car
Private sales car loans are loans for vehicles purchased through private sellers.
Request Quote
Great Value on Offer
Many buyers gravitate to these platforms to purchase vehicles at sometimes significantly lower prices than dealers offer. Essentially, securing a bargain.
Avoid the Risks
As with buying all second-hand cars, extra caution must be taken in doing a range of checks around ownership, if the car is under finance and the condition of the vehicle. When buying from private sellers, especially via online platforms, buyers are urged to be diligent in checking IDs and avoiding scams and fraud.
Checking Vehicle History
To ensure the value of a privately sold car is optimised, buyers should note the time left on the registration and review servicing schedules to ensure additional expenses will not be required in the initial few months of ownership.
Budget for the Future
If additional expenses are envisaged, they may need to be budgeted when planning finance repayments.
Used Car Loans Apply
The same loan products are applicable to both dealer and private seller purchases. A key point to note when financing a privately sold car is that the vehicle will be second-hand and used car loan products will apply.
Suitable Loan Collateral
The vehicle will need to be accepted as suitable collateral by lenders for secured loans or an unsecured finance product may be selected.
Highly Competitive Rates
Our highly competitive used car interest rates will apply, and the condition of the vehicle assessed by lenders in preparing rate offers. Our private seller car loan process follows the same simple steps as for other types of sales.
Pre-Approval Advantage
But many astute buyers opt to have their finance pre-approved, so they are 100% ready to shake on the deal on the first test drive.

Realise the Benefits of Personal Sale Car Financing with Jade
Private sales can provide buyers with the opportunity to purchase quality second-hand vehicles at highly attractive prices. Buyers also have the opportunity to negotiate directly with the seller and if ready to commit, potentially get that price down even further.

How Jade Assists to Mitigate Risks with Privately Purchased Vehicles
Purchasing a vehicle from a private seller can potentially involve greater risk compared with purchasing from an authorised motor dealer. When financing a privately sold car with Jade, buyers have the full assistance of our brokers to mitigate the risks.
We check the legal ownership of the vehicle with rego checks and check the PPSR to ensure the vehicle is not under finance. If purchasing via an online platform, it is strongly advised to verify the seller’s identity to avoid scams.
While authorised dealers must comply with Consumer Laws with warranties and guarantees, private sellers may not be covered by such regulations. Buyers should take extra care with checking the vehicle itself.
Buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the vehicle. Online photos can enhance the true condition. Always inspect the vehicle in person and test drive. Where possible, have the vehicle checked by an auto mechanic or a road services organisations to ensure it is mechanically sound and passes rego in your state.
Before proceeding to buy, buyers can refer to the ACCC ScamWatch website for guidelines on safely buying online and from private sellers. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it possibly is.
When making payments to private sellers, account details need to be checked. Our brokers will be handling settlement with our lender, to assist buyers in that respect. Let us help when you get in contact.
