Why get a new car loan with Jacaranda Finance?
Nearly everyone will need a car at some point down the road. In fact, more than three-quarters of Aussie households have at least one car right now.
While cars are important, they're also expensive to buy, and if you need a new one, the actual process of obtaining the money you need can be a major pain point. But not with Jacaranda Finance.
Thanks to our fast, fixed-rate car loans, you could obtain the money you need to buy your new car in next to no time! We can conditionally approve you for a new car loan of up to $25,000 in a matter of minutes, with repayments spread out over up to 48 months.
How do new car loans work?
A new car loan is a secured car loan specifically used to finance the purchase of a new vehicle. As new cars tend to be a fair bit more expensive than used ones, many people turn to a car loan in order to receive the funds to complete the transaction.
You can borrow up to $25,000 for a new car loan depending on your circumstances - noting that you can still contribute more towards a deposit for a more expensive car. You'll then repay what you borrowed (plus interest) in regular instalments over your designated loan term.
At Jacaranda, we offer the same rates and fees for both used and new cars. As long as the car meets our minimum criteria, chances are you can apply for a new car loan with Jacaranda Finance.
Apply for pre-approval today
If you haven't yet decided on the car you're going to buy, don't worry! Jacaranda Finance offers pre-approval on car loans that will outline exactly how much you can borrow based on your circumstances. Our conditional pre-approval can also tell you what your estimated repayments will be as well as your potential interest rates and fees.
Going down this route can give you the opportunity to shop around for the right car. It can also help your application proceed more smoothly than applying for a loan after finding a car.

OUR CAR LOAN PROCESS
How do we get you on the road?
1. Apply online in 5-12 minutes1
Applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance takes most people 5-12 minutes1, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as, but not limited to, how fast you are at typing or if you have all the required information on hand.
2. Get conditional approval on the same day2
Once you've applied, we could conditionally approve you for a car loan on the same day with rates, fees and repayments quoted to you, allowing you to shop for your dream car with confidence.
For most customers, we verify the information you provide us and get back to you with an outcome on your application within on the same day during normal business hours. We do not guarantee same-day outcomes for all customers: customers that apply outside of business hours or customers that are required to provide additional information may experience a longer timeframe.
Buy the car of your dreams
Get the seller to send us their private sales agreement/business invoice. Once all the required documents are supplied and final approval given, we can pay the seller of the vehicle so it's all yours!
What else can a Jacaranda car loan be used for?
At Jacaranda Finance, we offer car loans for the following. We also offer personal loans for car repairs if you need money to fix your car.
New and used cars
You can get both brand new and used cars with a Jacaranda Finance car loan, whichever suits you best. It doesn't matter what model it is: as long as it's 12 years old or less, is roadworthy, has under 150,000km (petrol cars) and fits within our maximum loan amount, you can get a car loan for it with Jacaranda.

Benefits of a new car loan with Jacaranda
A fixed-rate car loan from Jacaranda can provide the following benefits when buying a new car:
You can make extra repayments on top of your minimum and there are no fees for doing so. Just log in to your online account or speak to our customer service team to manage your car loan repayments.
Say you come into some money and want to pay out your car loan entirely ahead of schedule so you own the car outright. Some lenders would charge you a fee for doing so, but not Jacaranda.
Jacaranda customers who pay their loan out early do not incur any additional fees or charges. As our loans are interest-bearing, the total interest paid will likely be lower by repaying your car loan ahead of schedule.
Fixed fees that have already been incurred are due and payable.
Want to change the day of the week you make your regular loan repayments, such as your regular payday? Or do you want to make your repayments more frequently (say weekly instead of monthly) and save a bit of money doing so?
You can easily manage your car loan repayments online 24/7, 365 days a year, thanks to our secured self-service customer portal. Repayments can be automatically deducted via direct debit, so all you need to do is make sure you have the money in your nominated bank account by the due date.
Jacaranda has been recognised by several awards, and our customer service team are friendly, respectful and approachable. As a trusted lender for almost 10 years, we pride ourselves on offering some of the best customer service in Australia.
Changed your mind after receiving your funds? We offer a 48-hour cooling-off period for all loan products4. Simply call our customer service team to cancel your loan.
