Award-winning lender
Why get a used car loan with Jacaranda?
Nearly everyone will need a car at some point down the road. Unfortunately, buying one, new or used, is often both expensive and time-consuming.
But with Jacaranda, you can get an affordable, fast and reliable loan for a used car! We can conditionally approve you for a used car loan of up to $25,000 on the same day.
Fact: The average used car posted on Gumtree in 2021 was just over $18,000, well within our maximum loan limit!
How do used car loans work?
A used car loan is a secured loan specifically to finance a second-hand car. Used cars are a popular option for car buyers as they can represent excellent value. Cars depreciate in value quickly, so you can buy a car that’s only a few years old for well below its original purchase price.
At Jacaranda we offer the same rates and fees for both used and new cars - we don’t discriminate. As long as the car has a roadworthy certificate, is under 12 years old (at the time of purchase) and the value fits within our maximum loan amount, chances are you can get a used car loan with Jacaranda Finance.
Get pre-approved before you buy
Haven't got a car in mind yet? Jacaranda Finance offers pre-approval on a car loan for up to seven days. This pre-approval will outline exactly how much you can borrow for a used car and what your 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.
We'll quote you a maximum loan amount and a repayment amount in your pre-approval.
