Consumer
Consumer Car Loan: A Consumer car loan is a popular financing option for individuals looking to purchase a vehicle primarily for personal use, rather than for business purposes exceeding 50%. These loans can be used to buy both new and used vehicles, whether from a licensed dealership or a private seller. Consumer loan terms typically range from 2 years to 7 years, giving borrowers flexibility in choosing a repayment period that suits their financial situation and preferences. By taking out a consumer loan, individuals can spread the cost of their vehicle purchase over time, making it more affordable and manageable.
Secured: A secured car loan is a type of loan where the vehicle itself serves as collateral for the borrowed amount.
Unsecured: An unsecured loan, also known as a personal loan, is a type of loan where the borrower does not need to provide any collateral or security against the borrowed funds.
Commercial Car Loans
A Commercial Car Loan is a type of financing specifically designed for Australian Business Number (ABN) holders who intend to use the vehicle for business purposes for over 50% of the time. This loan option is known as a Secured Car Loan, meaning that the finance company will use the asset itself as collateral against the loan.
Low Doc Chattel Mortgage: A chattel mortgage is a popular type of commercial car loan that offers several advantages for businesses. One key benefit is the availability of low documentation options, allowing certain Australian Business Number (ABN) holders to secure financing without needing to provide extensive tax returns or company financial statements. This streamlined process can make it easier and faster for business owners to obtain the funds they need to purchase vehicles for their operations.
Moreover, opting for a chattel mortgage can also lead to ongoing tax benefits for businesses. By choosing this type of financing, borrowers may be eligible for tax deductions on interest payments and depreciation of the asset, which can help reduce their overall tax liability. These tax advantages can make chattel mortgages an attractive option for businesses looking to finance their commercial assets while maximizing tax efficiency.
Novated Lease: A Novated Lease Agreement is a type of car financing arrangement that involves three parties, an employer, an employee and a finance company. In this arrangement the employer takes on the responsibility of making the lease payments for the employee’s vehicle. The lease payments are deducted from the employee’s pre-tax salary, which is known as salary sacrificing. The lease is ‘novated’ or transferred to the employee, meaning the employee gains full use and responsibility for the vehicle.
It is important to note that if the employee leaves their job, they will be responsible for the lease payments.
Car Loans Refinance
Car Loan Refinance: Consumer car loan refinance can offer significant benefits to individuals seeking to improve their financial situation or reduce their monthly expenses. At Country Finance, we understand the importance of finding the right finance options to suit your needs. One key advantage of refinancing is the opportunity to secure a lower interest rate compared to your current loan. This could result in substantial savings over the life of the loan, especially if you initially signed a contract at a higher rate due to time constraints or limited options.
Another scenario where car loan refinancing can be advantageous is if there has been a change in your financial circumstances, necessitating a reduction in your monthly repayments to align with your budget. By extending the loan term, you can lower your monthly payments, providing you with more financial flexibility and breathing room. While it's essential to consider that refinancing may lead to paying more interest over time, it can be a preferable option to missed payments or potential repossession, which can have long-term consequences on your creditworthiness. Country Finance considers factors such as application fees, early exit fees, and the overall cost of refinancing to ensure it aligns with your financial goals and circumstances.
Example 1: Applicant has taken out a 5 year for loan for $30,000 to purchase a vehicle 3 years ago with repayments of $650 per month with 2 years remaining, and a balance of $14,201.
If this was refinanced over an 84-month Loan term the repayments would reduce to approximately $248.80 per month, freeing up around $401.20 per month in cashflow.
Example 2: Applicant has taken out a 5-year loan for $60,000 to purchase a vehicle 3 years ago with repayments of $1,300 per month with 2 years remaining, and a balance of $28,402.
If this was refinanced over an 84-month Loan term the repayments would reduce to approximately $492.60 per month, freeing up around $807.40 per month in cashflow.
In the examples provided, applicants can see a significant reduction in their monthly repayments by refinancing their car loans over a longer term. This can result in freeing up additional cash flow that can be allocated to other essential expenses or savings. Ultimately, the decision to refinance should be based on a thorough assessment of your current loan terms, financial situation, and long-term objectives. Country Finance is committed to assisting you in exploring the best refinancing options tailored to your needs, ensuring a more manageable and sustainable financial future.
