Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get pre-approval for a car loan?
Yes, our brokers can get you pre-approved for a new or used car loan on the Gold Coast in as little as 24-hours. Depending on how quickly you're looking to move, our brokers can work with you to secure pre-approval as quickly as possible.
Can I get finance for a used car?
Yes, we can offer finance and car loans for both new and used vehicles. It's worth noting that used car finance typically attracts a slightly higher interest rate than a comparable new car loan due to the extra risk that is taken on by the lender.
What's the maximum I can borrow?
Your borrowing capacity will depend on your unique financial circumstances. Factors such as loan history, employment status, debt-to-income ratio (DTI), and a range of other factors are used to assess your borrowing capacity. To get a more accurate idea, you can use our free online personal loan calculator.
How do the loan repayments work?
Car loan repayments work to pay the principal of the loan - this is the amount that you borrow to purchase the vehicle - and then part of the interest of the loan - this is the amount of interest that is charged to you by the lender.
The terms for each loan are slightly different, so it's important to understand your repayment schedule and loan terms before moving forward. Our car loan brokers will make every effort to communicate your repayment obligations before you move ahead.
How often to interest rates change?
Fixed rates will remain the same throughout the term of your car loan, while variable loans can fluctuate in line with market conditions. It depends on your specific loan product and terms.
Can I still get a loan if I have a bad credit score?
It is certainly possible to find a lender with flexible lending criteria who can offer you a favourable car loan, even if you have a poor credit history. Some lenders place greater importance on factors like a steady source of income and employment status over credit scores. We will do our best to search our network of lenders to identify loan options that are suitable for your financial circumstances.
What documents will I need before looking for a car loan?
We recommend having the following documents ready to assist with the car loan search:
- Proof of identification (driver’s licence, passport, other valid forms of ID)
- Proof of income (recent payslips from the past 6 months, bank statements)
- A record of past credit history or a credit rating report
We can provide you with guidance on how to obtain sufficient documentation — simply contact our team to get started!
Am I eligible for a car loan?
To be eligible for a car loan, you must align with the following:
- 18 years old or older
- An Australian or New Zealand citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or holding an eligible visa
- Receive regular income
- Work in Australia
At Finance King, we may ask for more information, such as business statements, recent payslips, and credit history to put your application together.
What is the difference between a secured and an unsecured car loan?
The difference between a secured and an unsecured car loan is in the name. A secured car loan is when assets (such as the car) are secured to and used as collateral for the loan. This provides security for the lender and typically results in a lower interest rate. An unsecured car loan does not require collateral for the loan; however, can be riskier for the lender, which is reflected in a higher interest rate.
Both secured and unsecured car loans have advantages and drawbacks; the right choice depends on your financial and personal circumstances. Our Gold Coast finance brokers will work with you to determine whether a secured or unsecured car loan best suits your needs.
