We act as the go-between for you and the buyer, using our experience and expertise to finalise the sale as efficiently as possible.

We make sure that the car you are buying is legitimate. We also shop around to get you the best rate and we handle the all the admin pertaining to purchasing the vehicle.

We are not able to quote a rate until an application has been submitted as the rate is based on your risk assessment.

The bank looks at your previous track and credit record, as well as the type of asset. e.g. car, motorbike, caravan etc.

They do a credit check to establish your historical payment conduct.

You can purchase an asset privately or through a dealership.

A private sale is the sale of an asset either a vehicle, motorbike or caravan between two private individuals. There is no dealership involved.

Not at all. We are able to assist with financing on both new and pre-owned vehicles.

A vehicle cannot be bought without a driver’s licence as there is a risk to the bank relating to insurance claims being rejected. You will not be able to get insurance without a driver's licence and you need to have insurance when you sign an agreement to purchase a vehicle. You may nominate a driver if you have a medical reason that you cannot drive, and we will require a medical certificate from a specialist in this regard.

The banks will determine if you need to pay a deposit or not. If you do need to pay a deposit, it will either be due to affordability or the vehicle being over book value.

Affordability is the amount of money you are left with after all your expenses have been deducted from your monthly income.

Linked interest rate is linked to the prime lending rate and therefore the monthly installment could vary during the loan term. Having a fixed interest rate (usually slightly higher than a linked rate) means that the monthly installment remains unchanged for the duration of the finance agreement.

It is compulsory to keep your vehicle/motorbike/caravan comprehensively insured for the full term of the finance agreement. Should you cancel your insurance during the finance agreement, you will be in breach of your agreement.
