Car Loans

Sort the finance, then go pick the colour.

New or used, dealer or private sale — we'll find a car loan that fits your budget. We compare lenders across Australia so you don't have to ring around.

A car loan from Blade Finance isn't just one bank's offer — it's the best match from a panel of lenders who actually compete for your business. That usually means a sharper rate, fewer fees, and terms that fit your life rather than the lender's brochure.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading the family wagon, or refinancing something you're stuck on, the conversation starts the same way: tell us what you need, and we'll come back with real options.

Who it may suit

If any of these sound like you, we should chat.

  • First-time car buyers wanting a clear walkthrough
  • PAYG employees buying new or used
  • Self-employed buyers needing low-doc options
  • Buyers purchasing from a private seller
  • People currently on a high dealer-finance rate
  • Anyone wanting pre-approval before they shop
Common use cases

Where this product comes in handy.

New car from a dealer

Pre-approved finance so you walk in with the strongest negotiating position.

Used car under 10 years

Most lenders are happy with quality used vehicles up to a certain age.

Private sale

Buying off Gumtree or a mate? We handle PPSR, payout and seller settlement.

Refinance an existing loan

Stuck on 11%? We'll see what we can do.

Novated lease alternative

Not everyone benefits from novation — we'll do the maths honestly.

Caravan, boat or bike

Recreational vehicles often fit the same lender appetite as cars.

FAQs

Common questions, answered.

How much deposit do I need?+

Many lenders will fund 100% of the purchase price — no deposit needed — for the right applicant. A deposit can sharpen the rate, but it's not a hard requirement.

Will checking my options affect my credit score?+

Initial conversations and quotes don't touch your credit file. We only do a formal credit enquiry once you've chosen a lender and we have your written go-ahead.

Can I get a loan if I'm self-employed?+

Yes — we work with several lenders who offer low-doc options for ABN holders. See our Low-Doc finance page for the detail.

Can you finance a car bought from a private seller?+

Yes. Private sale finance is one of our specialties. We'll arrange PPSR checks, organise the seller payout, and make sure the rego transfer goes smoothly.

How long does approval take?+

Straightforward PAYG applications are often approved same-day or next-day. More complex files (self-employed, private sale, unusual vehicles) usually take 2–5 business days.

Do you charge a broker fee?+

For standard consumer car loans, no — we're paid by the lender. We'll always tell you upfront if there's any fee for a more complex commercial deal.
