The features and benefits of car loans on the Sunshine Coast
Low interest rates
You can lock in an affordable car loan with a low rate and comparison rate to help you reduce the cost of your finance over your term.
Choose your preferred loan term
One of the many benefits of taking out a car loan is the fact that you can decide the period over which to make your repayments, which can range from one to seven years.
Buy new or used
You won’t just be able to pick out new vehicles, though. You can take out a car loan to finance a used car on the Sunshine Coast, either from a dealership or private seller.
No deposits required
Additionally, there’s no need for you to put up a significant lump sum when applying for your car loan. You can be approved for a loan worth 100% of your vehicle’s cost.
Diverse income streams accepted
Regardless of whether you’re working full-time, part-time, casually or are self-employed, you can be approved for car finance (even if you’re working more than one job).
Buy for your business
Vehicle finance isn’t only open to personal users, however. If you run a business and need to buy a commercial vehicle, you can look at chattel mortgage solutions.

What documents will you need to get approved for car finance with Savvy?
Completed application form
The first piece of documentation you’ll need to supply as part of the Savvy application process is your form. After you’ve filled in your quick quote, you’ll have the option to go ahead with your formal Savvy application. This will only take you a short time to complete, but you’ll need to supply information about who you are, your address, work, income, assets and liabilities, among other areas.
Photo identification
We have to be able to confirm that you are who you say you are when you’re applying, so photo ID is one of the most important pieces of documentation required during this process. This will typically be scans of the front and back of your driver’s licence, although there may be situations where your Medicare card is required. Passports may also be accepted in some cases.
Evidence of income
We’ll need your two most recent payslips to show your lender how much you’re earning and its consistency. For self-employed workers, you’ll need the most recent one to two years’ worth of tax returns to display your income. In some cases, lenders may also request the last 90 days’ worth of bank statements as part of this step.
Your credit history
This isn’t a document you’ll need to supply yourself, but your Savvy consultant will review your credit file to check whether there are any outstanding debts, defaults or bankruptcies, as well as determine how you’ve managed similar loans in the past. They’ll also look at your residential history to help determine stability in your living situation.
Signed consent form and credit guide
Your Savvy consultant will supply you with a consent form and credit guide to sign during this process. A credit guide gives you information about your lender and the costs you can expect to pay when taking out a loan with them, while the consent form simply confirms that you agree to our involvement in the process as a broker.
Common questions about car loans on the Sunshine Coast
When it comes to determining the cost of your car loan, there are many factors at play. These can include:
- Your interest rate
- Your fees
- Your car loan size and term length
- Whether you’ve made a deposit
- The frequency of your repayments
Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about crunching the numbers yourself. You can use Savvy’s simple car loan repayment calculator to do the heavy lifting for you when it comes to working out how much your car loan might cost based on a range of variables.
No – just because you’re living on the Sunshine Coast doesn’t mean you’re restricted to taking out a car loan with a lender in Queensland, nor does it mean you have to pick a car in your area or state. For example, you can get approved to finance a car in Sydney even if you live in Nambour. At Savvy, we can help you source your ideal vehicle through our in-house car-broking team.
Yes – you’ll be able to include a range of on-road costs into your loan, rather than have to pay for them yourself upfront. Some of the on-road costs you may be able to incorporate into your car loan include:
- Stamp duty
- Comprehensive car insurance
- Vehicle registration
Yes – although most car loans and lenders require borrowers to have a good credit history, there are options for those who have bad credit. These loans will generally come with higher rates and fees and may enforce a lower borrowing cap, but many lenders on the market offer these products. Speak with your Savvy consultant about your options if you have bad credit.
