    Hi

    I did an online app for a secured car loan and it says approved in principal. I need to provide an invoice from the car dealership and take it in to a branch.

    Does this mean a credit check has already been done?

    I am still on probation at work but need a car loan, does the lender require me to have been in this role for a set amount of time? I haven’t recently been in a similar role either, would this be an issue for the lender?

    1. I am on a Centrelink Carer’s Pension and my wife on the DSP. I have savings equivalent to the value of the car I hope to purchase. Am I eligible for this loan?
    2. Which other loans are accessible to me?
    3. How flexible are the payments? What if I decide to pay it off more quickly?
    4. What if I have to reduce payments for a while?

      Hi Kelli,

      Thanks for your question.

      Most car loans featured on our pages require other source of income. If you are receiving parenting payment, the lenders on this page may consider you for a loan. Please note that other eligibility criteria apply.

      Alternatively, if someone is willing to be your guarantor, another option for you is a guarantor personal loan which you can then use to buy a car.

      Cheers,
