Submit an online quote. You’ll be asked if you want to apply when you finished it. If you’re not quite ready, though, a consultant will be in touch.
When you’re ready to apply, your consultant will match you to a suitable lender using our state-of-the-art technology and confirm it with you.
Your consultant will call when you’ve been approved. You’ll be sent a digital loan agreement to sign. Upon its return, your funds will be released.
Once you’ve been matched, your consultant will prepare your application. They’ll request copies of your supporting documents to do this.
Photo ID
You’ll be required to send your consultant a copy of your current driver’s license (back and front). If you don’t have a driver’s license, you can supply a valid Australian or foreign issued passport as photo identification.
Proof of employment
This letter will confirm your job status and salary with a lender and is usually supplied as supporting evidence alongside pay slips and bank statements.
Proof of income
You will need to supply two recent payslips to your consultant to help them prepare your application. If you’re self-employed, you can supply a copy of your latest tax return or an ATO Notice of Assessment from the past 18 months. If you’re receiving government benefits, you will need to supply an income statement from Centrelink.
Bank statements
Your consultant will require 90 days of bank statements. This will prove what you earn and what you spend on things such a rent, groceries, transport and school fees.
Other loans or debts
You’ll also need to provide a list of other loans you are paying off. This will also include your credit cards and their available limits.
Before you settle on a reliable used car to purchase, there are a few things you should consider. These include:
Your budget
Do a rough estimate of what you can afford to spend on a second-hand car. Your consultant will draw up a budget as part of your application process, checking your borrowing power against your income, expenses and current debt.
Your insurance cost
Vehicle insurance will protect you and your car in the event it’s damaged or stolen. What you pay for compulsory comprehensive insurance will depend on several variables including your age, address, track record as a driver and claim history.
Your needs
Identify why you need your car. If you use your bad credit finance to buy a second-hand car to run around the city and the suburbs, you will likely only need a smaller vehicle rather than a bigger model that costs more to run.
Vehicle inspections
You may want to let a mechanic give the second-hand car you’re looking at a once-over before you buy it. Qualified inspectors will be able to check the condition of the engine, transmission, wheels and exhaust system.
Where you buy
Lenders offering bad credit second-hand car finance let you buy privately or from a car yard. You may get a better price going through a private seller, but your car likely won’t be covered by a warranty. Buying through a dealership gives you a wide selection of vehicle options, but they tend to be more expensive.
On-road costs
When working out how much you have to spend on your used car, you’ll have to factor in things like stamp duty, registration and insurance. Stamp duty and vehicle registration costs vary from state-to-state.
Test drives
Taking your desired car out for a spin can identify any mechanical faults. Watch out for issues with the brakes, steering, engine and transmission. Take a car-savvy person with you on the test drive and, if you can, spend a good amount of time in the vehicle.
