Always choose a secured car loan
If you are able to offer some form of security for your personal car loan, avoid using unsecured car loan finance. You will benefit from low interest car finance.
When you lease a car you are really paying a monthly rental amount for use of the car that is actually owned by the finance company and provided back to you for a specified term. At the end of the rental period, you may apply to purchase the car by making an offer to the finance company usually for an amount equal to the residual value of the finance agreement.
It may be possible that your finance consultant can assist you to get the best car loan when all of the information is known in advance. Last minute surprises can make getting your car finance approval more difficult and can affect your chances of success in your application. It pays to be upfront, so you can get an honest assessment of your chance of motor finance approval.
If you are self employed and your financial statements are not up to date or don’t show sufficient income to support your car finance application, consider the low doc car finance products. A number of non-bank lenders offer loans which especially cater for this type of borrower.

Hybrid Camry by 2010
Amid growing global demand for Hybrid cars, Toyota has hinted it may start production of hybrid cars here in Australia from as early as 2010. Hybrid cars are becoming increasingly popular among car loan and car finance customers.
The news follows recent comments from Prime Minister Rudd where he has urged Australia’s car manufacturing industry to make a substantial shift towards meeting the growing market demand for more fuel efficient vehicles.
Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson said it was important that every possible measure was taken to ensure Australia continued to have a buoyant car manufacturing industry.
It’s expected that Toyota will finish the current year as the world’s highest volume car manufacturer, overtaking General Motors.
It is anticipated that by 2010 production of Toyota’s hybrid range will grow to over one million units globally.
Demand for hybrid cars continues to rise in the United States, Japan and in developing countries in South-East Asia. Here in Australia, we continue to see growing demand in the car leasing market and those choosing a novated lease for salary packaging.

Your car finance options
When it comes to buying your new car – there are many car finance options available for you to consider. This summary is designed to assist you with choosing the best car finance and best car loans for your needs.
Car Lease – with a car lease the financier buys equipment on your behalf and rents it back to you. You finance the total purchase price of the car (less the GST input tax credit) and make regular rental instalments for a fixed period of time – usually up to five years.Novated Lease – provides the opportunity for employers to offer employees the option of leasing a new car or used of their choice as part of their salary package.
The novated lease is in the employee’s name, and the employee has ultimate responsibility for the leased vehicle (even after leaving the employer). Learn more about employer benefits and employee benefits.
Commercial Hire Purchase – a common method to arrange motor vehicle finance, whereby the financier buys the goods and hires them back to you as the customer. With a commercial hire purchase or CHP agreement ownership is automatically transferred to the customer at the end of the car finance agreement.
Chattel Mortgage – the goods are purchased directly from the supplier and the financier registers a mortgage or lien over the goods until the contract is repaid in full, hence the term chattel mortgage. If GST is included in the price, the customer may be eligible to claim the GST back in their next BAS. Apart from mortgage stamp duty, the contract or repayments do not attract GST or stamp duty.
