We provide an individual one-to-one approach to sourcing the right financing package, from the right lenders at the lowest rates for private and business second-hand vehicle buyers. Buying second-hand can be a smart way to secure a quality vehicle at a much lower price than the equivalent new. But any savings to be made on the purchase price can quickly be reduced if the used car finance is not at the lowest rates possible.

The second-hand market can be robust with strong competition from buyers to capture the best value deals. Our fast financing service supports buyers to be quick to source their credit, be first to shake on a deal with a dealer, be across PPSR and other issues with private sellers and be confident to bid online and at auction.

Financing second-hand, vintage, classic and collectible autos requires individual attention to the details. The details of the auto and the details of the buyer. Second-hand vehicles each have distinct features and condition which affect the financing - age, mileage, engine and bodywork condition. These aspects can affect the type of loan required, the amount approved for the loan to buy the vehicle, the interest rate and the amount of time approved to repay the funding – the loan term.

Buyers in this market have varying needs and objectives to be considered. Whether the vehicle is a workhorse and buyers need workable repayments or a classic car buyer looking for the value to appreciate for future resale. Individual and family buyers looking to balance their budget with the cheapest repayments on their value priced vehicle.
We cater to the needs of all buyers and all vehicles with a complete selection of loan types. The major factor with which loan type is most suitable – will a lender accept the vehicle as suitable security for financing. This determines whether secured or unsecured financing is the right option.
For private buyers of both classic and daily drive vehicles, the options are a Secured Car Loan or an Unsecured Personal Loan. Rates are higher on loans that do not have the vehicle as collateral – unsecured options but the conditions and terms can be flexible. Give us a quick call before buying to confirm which option will suit your vehicle.
The majority of business buyers will be seeking to optimise the pricing of second-hand work vehicles with low rates, workable repayments and tax benefits.

The rates and conditions of second-hand compared with new car financing can be different.
For all buyers, our one-to-one approach to the vehicle, you the buyer and in our negotiations with our lenders, ensures the best rates and most flexible package is secured. Know your specific options before committing to a second-hand vehicle purchase by contacting us for your best rate first.

Knowing the basics of second-hand vehicle credit and the differences from new vehicle loans can assist buyers to more quickly achieve the best outcome. Unlike new models which are essentially all the same, second-hand and especially classic vehicles, each has its own unique features and characteristics. Varying age, mileage, engine and bodywork condition – unique features which affect the financing.
Additional aspects to consider, and we can help you with, include: checking if any money is owed on the vehicle through the PPSR; verifying ownership REVS with private and online buys; transfer of registration; and different insurance options.
The amount you can borrow may be determined by the lender’s value assessment of the vehicle. The value is assessed against the purchase price, the loan amount includes total interest to determine approval of loan amounts. Limits may be placed on how much will be approved. Buyers may need to be prepared to make a down payment to reduce the amount they need to borrow.
With interest rates, lenders will typically advertise their best rates for new goods. So the rates may be different for used vehicles. But rates are primarily assessed on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan – their earnings capacity and their credit history.
Borrowers with good credit history are typically offered the best rates and the best terms. Poor credit score applicants can be offered a higher rate. Maintaining a good credit history and score can be vital when seeking affordable second hand vehicle financing.
The term – the amount of time approved to repay the loan, can significantly affect the repayments and comes into consideration with used car finance. The rate, term and loan amount together determine the monthly repayment. Use our calculator to see how this all works to determine repayments for the vehicle you are considering. We look at getting the best possible for all these inclusions to deliver affordable financing options for our buyers.
With secured financing options, lenders require buyers to have comprehensive motor vehicle insurance coverage and we may assist in sourcing the most affordable policy.
