Applying For A Used Car Loan

How do I finance a used or second hand car with my ABN?
You can finance a new/used vehicle or equipment through your ABN (business) with most lenders. The main criteria is to be able to prove to lenders and the ATO that it will be used for business purposes and qualify for the loan.
With regards to lenders, borrowers can access both full doc or low doc ABN finance options and in some cases half doc.
Full doc finance is a traditional loan and may require a large amount of paperwork; including tax returns, bank statements, business activity statements and up to date accounts. Rates for full doc loans are often lower than low doc finance.
Low doc finance is popular as it requires less paperwork along with a bit more flexibility in approvals. General lender requirements for low doc finance may include; recent BAS or from previous year, summary of business accounts, possibly a deposit or be asset backed.
Half doc finance is obviously in the middle of the other options, typically requiring documents like a BAS + 6 months bank statements.
In all cases the better your credit the better your rate and chances of approval.
A quick chat with the Comparison Australia team can quickly highlight options across our large panel of lenders.
Are there any purchase restrictions on used car loans?
Yes, each lender will have its own criteria based on the age of the vehicle/equipment, LVR amount and credit assessment. In most circumstance the newer the vehicle or equipment the better for approvals and rates. There are however certain lenders that specialise in funding older or unique vehicles and equipment.
A generic guide in terms of vehicle age and rate:
– Under 2 years old, rates are similar to that of a new car purchase.
– 2 to 5 years old the rate can vary a bit with some noticeable increases.
– Rate increases tend to level off at the 5 year mark. ie 7 year old vehicle will have a similar rate to a 5 year old vehicle.
– Secure loans for used vehicles tend to stop at 20 years of age.
– Used vehicles or equipment over 20 years of age will typically be purchased with a unsecure loan.
Comparison Australia’s partners have access to 70+ lenders and banks making it easier for borrowers to find a lender that will fund most things. Reach out to discuss options and understand purchase scenarios!
How can I improve my chances of qualifying for a used car loan?
Below are some of the best ways to improve your chances of approval.
– Register for GST as this tells lenders straightaway that your business turns over at least $75,000 a year.
– Have a deposit, the bigger the better. This helps reduce risk to the bank as the asset has some of your money against it.
– Strong banking figures showing good and steady cash flow/turnover.
– Incoming producing vehicles or equipment help demonstrate that they are earning their keep. Whilst it may be a depreciating asset, its generating income the whole time for the business.
– Having a good credit history goes without saying, will always help with approvals and better finance options.
Is a used vehicle cheaper with an ABN?
The overall costs of owning a new or used vehicle through your business can be cheaper as there are GST & other tax breaks available.
How long does a business need to be trading to get used car finance?
Most lenders prefer your ABN be active for at least two years. However, there are certain lenders that will accept 1 year ABN’s or less based on different circumstances such as ‘business continuance’ or strong cash flow.
A quick chat with Comparison Australia partners can provide current options across different lenders and their ABN length requirements.
What type of insurance do I need if purchasing a used vehicle?
You’ll need to get a comprehensive car insurance policy just like you would if purchasing an normal vehicle, so it’s important to factor that into your budgeting.
