Things to know about the New Car Loan (Fixed)
This loan is designed for the financing of new vehicles – as is implied by the name – but you can finance new vehicles up to two years old. You won't pay anything to apply for this loan and you're able to finance 100% of the purchase price of the vehicle, which can be a maximum of $50,000. You'll have up to seven years to repay your loan and be repaying it at a competitive rate of 7.95% p.a. which remains fixed for the loan term. There's also a redraw facility available, giving you the flexibility you need with your additional repayments.
What features and benefits are on offer?
- How much you can borrow. You're able to finance 100% of the vehicle's cost, which can be between $10,000 and $50,000.
- What kind of car you can borrow. The vehicle needs to be new or near new, as cars over two years old are ineligible for this loan.
- Competitive fixed rate. A rate of 7.95% p.a. will apply to your loan – this rate is fixed and will keep your repayments the same throughout your loan term.
- Flexibility with your car search. You can secure the loan before you find your car, and this way you'll have the confidence to negotiate knowing how much you have to spend. You can also take advantage of SCU's complimentary car search service.
- Car insurance available. You have the option to take on insurance through their partner, Allianz. This way all your car payments are kept in one place. Comprehensive, third-party, and CTP insurance are available.
