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.

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.
