Mazda finance options

This guide will help you understand the different Mazda finance options and instantly compare Mazda car loans.

What type of Mazda finance options are there?

You have a number of Mazda finance options available when it comes to getting a new car. These include:

• Secured car loan. A secured car loan requires you to use your Mazda as security against the loan. You'll generally receive a lower rate than on a normal loan, but the lender may take ownership of the vehicle in the event you don't repay your loan.
• Unsecured loan. If you don't wish to use the Mazda as security, you can opt for an unsecured loan to finance your car. These loans usually have higher interest rates than secured loans and may have lower maximum loan amounts.
• Novated lease. This involves an agreement between you, your employer and a third-party financier where you pay for your vehicle out of your pre-tax salary. Your employer will be responsible for making the repayments to the lender directly from your salary, allowing you to reduce your taxable income.
• Commercial hire. This involves you renting the car and having the benefits of ownership without actually owning the Mazda. This can be a good option for business owners and people who want the car but don't want to own it outright.
• Chattel mortgage. This is a Mazda finance option for businesses where a lender loans money to the company for the car and then puts a mortgage on the car, which is repaid over the term of the loan.
• Mazda dealer finance. Many large carmakers such as Mazda also offer car finance through their dealers. Most dealer finance options require you to make a lump-sum balloon payment at the end of the loan term. In Australia, Mazda partners with Australian Alliance Automotive Finance Pty Limited to provide finance.

Other costs to consider

• Servicing and repairs. All cars require ongoing servicing and maintenance to ensure they stay in good working condition. You'll also need to pay for any unexpected repairs for your vehicle.
• Registration and insurance. You'll need to purchase compulsory third party (CTP) insurance and register your car in order to use it in Australia. There are also a number of optional insurance products to help protect you against theft, fire, accidents and any other damage. The cost of optional insurance will vary based on your specific plan, as well as your driving history, age and gender.
• Stamp duty. The duty you pay when purchasing a car will differ based on your state or territory. You can use our stamp duty calculator to see how much you'll pay.
• New car extras. If you plan on getting add-ons such as leather seats or parking sensors, you should factor the cost into your budget.
• Fuel. Your fuel usage will be determined by the amount you use you car, as well as the fuel efficiency of the model you choose. The ATO classifies a fuel-efficient car as one with a fuel consumption of less than 7L/100km, meaning all current Mazda models can be considered fuel-efficient according to this guideline.
• Cost of finance. If you take out a car loan or use another form of finance to help purchase your Mazda, you should consider the cost of the loan as part of your overall costs. See below for more information on your financing options.

Things to consider before taking out finance on a Mazda

Here are a few things to consider before deciding to finance a Mazda.

• Fees. Make sure you’re aware of all of the fees you may have to pay before applying for a loan. This can include upfront fees, such as application and establishment fees, or ongoing fees such as monthly or annual fees.
• Loan term. Figure out realistically how quickly you can afford to pay off your loan and find a loan term that meets this.
• Interest rates. Compare interest rates to find the lowest and best rate for you. This is a crucial detail to look at as this impacts your repayments and the overall cost of your loan.
• Comparison rate. The comparison rate factors in any additional fees or charges to give you the true cost of the loan. It's always worth finding out the comparison rate when looking at a range of loans.
• The amount you want to borrow. Different lenders will have different loan amounts they'll be willing to lend. Make sure you find a loan product that meets your borrowing needs.

Mazda finance options: What you'll need to apply

Eligibility criteria and application requirements differ between lenders, but you'll generally need to meet the following criteria to be eligible for a loan:

• Be 18 years of age or over
• Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
• Have a steady income that allows you to afford the repayments
• Be employed in some capacity (some lenders will accept Centrelink applicants)

Finder Score for car insurance

We analyse over 30 car insurance products across insurance providers, and rate each one for price and features. We collect up to 36 quotes per product, for male and female drivers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia. Quotes are collected for 20 year olds, 30 year olds and 60 year olds, assuming an excess of $850 for a 2020 Toyota Corolla 4 door sedan model, with an average 15,000 kms driven each year. We use your responses to our quiz to pair you with the closest price profile and while we are not allowed to display actual quotes, our price score aims to serve as an indicative guide to how cost competitive a product might be for you.

Our feature score assesses each product for more than 15 features across loss and damage coverage, repairs and assistance coverage, personal items coverage and policy coverage. Features we assess include but are not limited to legal liability, essential repairs, new car replacement, car hire events, roadside assistance, agreed or market value, windscreen damage and natural disaster coverage.

Depending on your answers to our car insurance quiz, we upweight the relevant price score or feature score to generate a dynamic Finder Score (80% weighting on the primary selection between Price or Feature). Finder Score, Price Score and Feature Score are only to be used as indicative guides and are not product recommendations.
