    Is the interest being calculated daily or over the term of the loan and then including in the monthly repayment? My reason for asking is if I pay it off early, I would not want to pay the interest in my repayments as if I had it on a full term.

      Hi Veronica!

      Thanks for the comment.

      Please be informed that interest is being calculated based over the term based on monthly repayments. Rates, promotions, other discounts may vary from time to time, so it’s best to contact the lender directly to see if there’s any concession that may be given by paying it off early.

      Click “Go to Site” green button to be redirected to their page for further assistance.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

    Hello,

    I have a personal loan with another bank, can I apply for a secure car loan through CGU to buy a new car and pay off my other small loan?

    Thanks

      Hi Vanessa,

      Thanks for your question.

      Please note that with a secured car loan, you are restricted as to how you can use your funds. This is because the loan amount is tied to the cost of the vehicle and not for repaying another loan.

      If you are interested to get a loan to buy a car and use the extra funds to pay off your existing loan, you may consider getting a personal loan consolidation. You can compare your options here.

      Cheers,
      Anndy

      Hi Rose,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      No, CUA does not charge a penalty for an early payout. Other car loan providers that don’t have an early exit fee can be found here.

      Hi Mercia,

      Thanks for your question.

      Balloon payment option is not listed among the features of CUA Fixed Rate Car Loan. You can confirm this by directly calling CUA.

      CUA Fixed Rate Car Loan does have a flexible repayment option allowing you to repay weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You can also have the option to make as many additional repayments as you want at no extra charge.

      Cheers,

    Do you finance used cars purchased from a private seller (ie. not a dealer)?

      Hi P,

      Thanks for your question.

      Just to clarify that you’ve come through to finder.com.au, a financial comparison service and not CUA. I can confirm, however, that if your car meets the requirements specified, you can buy it from a private seller and not a dealer.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Elizabeth

    Hi, I am a pensioner, aged 66, with a solid saving habit and proof therof….am about to head overseas for three months using only my savings of twelve months and my full pension. When I get home I am hoping to buy a small caravan to keep in my daughter’s backyard as a private little bolthole for when I visit my large family in Brisbane. The caravans I am looking at are called AVans. I have my eye on one for $15K but most of them are up to $25k. I have a credit card with a limit of 5K but I pay it off completely each month. I currently have $6,479 in my Ubank account. Of this, 5k is for my trip and the rest is for bills from home whilst overseas. I own my own home outright which is worth about $150k. Could you let my know my chances please? O yes, I also, on top of the pension O $864 pfn, I receive $100 per fortnight as spousal maintenance. Which makes my income $964pfn. Hoping to hear from you. Liz

      Hi Liz,

      Thanks for your question.

      Unfortunately, to be eligible for a personal loan with CUA you’ll need to be currently employed. You can compare your other caravan loan options on this page, and specifically find options for pensioners available on this page. Take a look at the review pages for the individual eligibility criteria before applying.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Elizabeth
