How to reduce your monthly car finance payments

Frequently asked car finance questions by WA drivers

How much can I borrow?

The exact amount you can borrow for a car is determined when the lender examines your credit score and other elements of your car finance application. How long you’ve been in your current job, whether you’re asset-backed (own property) and your disposable income all play major parts in that decision. Different lenders offer different borrowing ranges when it comes to car finance, but you can generally borrow from just $5,000 up to $100,000 and beyond.

How quickly can I be approved?

We can help you have your loan turned around from quick quote to settlement and the release of funds in as little as 48 hours. Car loans work quickly, allowing you to get on the road in no time, especially if you need to urgently replace your existing vehicle as a means of getting to work.

Can I use a trade-in with car finance?

Yes – there’s nothing stopping you from trading in your vehicle and borrowing the balance of the cost of your new car. Unlike with dealership finance, borrowers are free to sell their car privately too, which typically results in a better price and lower borrowing costs.

How do self-employed Western Australians finance their car?

Western Australians have several options for commercial car finance, including leases, loans, and even rent-to-buy. You’ll need to be using your vehicle for work 50% of the time or more to qualify for business car finance.

Can I buy an older second-hand car with finance?

Yes – Savvy partners with lenders who can finance cars up to 25 years of age at the end of your loan. If you’re looking at a classic or very old vehicle, you could consider a specialist classic car loan or personal loan, which doesn’t require that you use the car as security.

Can I access car finance with a low credit score?

Yes – however, bad credit car finance attracts higher costs when you borrow for a car, via the interest rate. You may also be more restricted when it comes to the choice of vehicle, as you won’t be eligible to access 100% financing for top of the range cars.
