Frequently Asked Questions

Car Loan FAQs

Yes, you may be able to get a car loan with bad credit. A low credit score, defaults or previous missed repayments don't automatically rule you out. At Jacaranda Finance, we consider your current financial situation and ability to afford repayments alongside your credit history.

A car loan is taken out for the specific purpose of buying a vehicle, and the vehicle is held as security for the loan. Because of that, Jacaranda Finance pays the funds directly to the seller rather than into your account. A personal loan is not tied to a particular purchase and the funds are paid to you.

Car loans from Jacaranda Finance range from $3,000 to $40,000 over terms of 25 to 48 months. The amount you may be offered depends on your income, expenses, existing commitments and what you can comfortably afford to repay.

Yes, with Jacaranda Finance you can apply entirely online in just a few minutes1.

Apply before 3:00pm AEST and get a same-day outcome on your application2.

A deposit is not required. Reducing the amount you need to borrow will lower your repayments and the total cost of the loan, but the assessment is based on whether the repayments on the amount you are asking for are affordable for you.

For a car loan under $10,000, comprehensive insurance is not required, although we recommend it. For a car loan of $10,000 or more, comprehensive insurance on the vehicle is required before the loan can be finalised.

Yes, you could use a car loan to purchase from a private seller. To complete the sale, we’ll require additional information such as the seller's identification and registration details, verification of their bank details, a roadworthy certificate, a signed sale agreement, photographs of the vehicle and odometer, and proof of comprehensive insurance.

Checking if you qualify has no impact on your credit score*. If you proceed to a full application, we may perform a credit check, and that enquiry is recorded on your credit file for five years.

No. No lender holding an Australian Credit Licence can guarantee approval, because responsible lending obligations require an assessment of each individual application. We may carry out a credit check if you proceed to a full application, and we weigh your credit history alongside your current circumstances rather than treating it as the only factor.

Yes. The interest rate on a Jacaranda Finance car loan is fixed for the life of the loan, so your repayment amount does not change once your contract is signed.

Yes. There are no early repayment fees on a Jacaranda Finance car loan.
