Buying used? Don't let a pre-owned vehicle hold you back
We finance used cars of all ages and conditions — from near-new demo vehicles to older models up to 15 years old — with lenders who specialise in pre-owned assets.
Whether you're buying from a licensed dealer or via private sale, we handle the extra steps (roadworthy certificates, PPSR checks, seller payments) so your used car purchase settles quickly and correctly.
Flexible Used Car Loans Made Simple
Buying second-hand is one of the smartest financial moves you can make to avoid early-stage vehicle depreciation. Our flexible used car loans help you unlock great value, giving you the purchasing power to buy safely from established dealerships or private sellers right across Australia.
No matter the age of the vehicle you are looking at, we tailor a finance package to fit its specific profile, ensuring you never pay more than you should.
Free Used Car Loan QuoteGet pre-approved and shop with confidence.
Pre-approval is free, takes minutes, and gives you a significant advantage when buying a car.
Know Your Budget Before You Shop
Walk into any dealership or approach any private seller knowing exactly how much you can borrow and at what rate. No surprises, no disappointment.
Stronger Negotiating Position
When you have pre-approved finance, you're a cash buyer in the seller's eyes. That negotiating power translates directly into a lower purchase price.
Move Fast on the Right Car
The best cars sell quickly — especially in private sale. With pre-approval in hand, you can commit immediately without waiting days for finance to be arranged.
No Credit Score Impact
Pre-approval uses a soft credit enquiry only. Your credit file isn't touched until you formally proceed with a lender.
Valid for 30–90 Days
Pre-approval gives you time to shop without the clock ticking. Take the pressure off and find the right vehicle at the right price.
Avoid Dealer Finance Traps
With your own finance pre-approved, you can confidently decline the dealership's in-house finance — which is almost always at a higher rate.
Secured vs Unsecured?
Secured Car Loan
Best for most car buyers — the vehicle secures the loan, giving lenders confidence and you a better rate.
Unsecured Personal Loan
Best when the vehicle doesn't qualify as security (very old, high-km) or when you want maximum flexibility.

Can I Finance a Car from a Private Seller?
Yes, absolutely. While many traditional banks make private sale car finance incredibly difficult, we specialize in it. We handle all the heavy lifting for you—including structural asset checks, PPSR registration searches to ensure the vehicle is clear of encumbrances, and direct, secure fund transfers to the private vendor. You get the bargain price of a private sale with the safety and speed of a dealership transaction.
Need a used car but have a poor credit history?
A low credit score doesn't mean the end of your used car loan journey. We have a proven record of securing finance for pre-owned vehicles even with defaults or missed payments on file.
Our diverse panel of specialist lenders assesses your full situation — not just a number — so your credit history is only a speed bump, not the end of the road.
