03 Apr 2019 Guide to Getting a Car Loan in Perth

An updated guide to owning your first car in Perth

Purchasing your car can be tricky for the unwary. Although car buyers usually do some thorough research to ensure they get the right model to best suit their needs, they don’t always put as much effort into securing the right finance.

Here at Soul, our aim is to give you the latest and most updated guidelines to help you purchase your dream car.

How much does the loan cost?

Inquire for the interest rate and fees. Tip: Compare similar loans to each other to see if the standalone rate is competitive. Then, check the comparison rate to see if the loan is still affordable and comparable when the fees are brought into the equation (the comparison rate is the interest rate + fees).

How much can you borrow?

Lenders take into consideration your credit history and financial situation. For a secured loan, the amount will depend on the cost of the car. Car loans are generally for between $5,000 and $100,000.

What are the requirements for a car loan in Perth?

Find the list below for the general requirements needed. Please note that this will always depend on the lender and your loan type.

• Proof of your identity with a passport or driver’s licence
