A secured car loan is a loan where your car is used as security for the loan. Should you default against the loan and the situation is escalated, the lender can legally repossess the vehicle to repay the loan. When a car or vehicle is used to secure the loan, this can reduce the risk of the loan not being recovered, which can therefore help reduce the fees and interest rates.

A secured car loan uses an asset, like a car, as security for the loan. An unsecured car loan has no asset used as security against the loan, increasing the risk for the lender.

If you default on your payments with a secured loan and the situation is escalated, the car can be repossessed to repay the loan. With an unsecured loan, if the loan goes into default, there is nothing that can be repossessed to repay the loan.

Here at Fair Go Finance, if you apply for a car loan of $5,000 or more, it will be classed as a secured loan and your vehicle will be used as security.

Absolutely. That’s the beauty of our car loan product between $5,000 and $24,000. When you complete our application form, you simply enter the amount you wish to apply for – no car or vehicle details are required to begin with. That way, you can receive an indication of how much you’re able to borrow (in the form of a pre-approval) so you can confidently go looking for your dream vehicle.

Once you find the vehicle you want, you simply contact us with its details so a final credit check can be completed. If nothing has changed since you applied, your final loan offer can be emailed to you.

When you apply for a car or vehicle loan with us, we don’t require any vehicle details to be provided on the application form, you simply select how much you are interested in borrowing.

At this stage, we will do a soft credit check so there is no impact on your credit score. This simply helps us determine how much we may be able to lend you. We can then give you a conditional offer amount so you can start looking for a vehicle in that price range.

And it doesn’t have to be a car you’re interested in buying, it can be any vehicle such as a caravan, trailer, jet ski, boat or motorbike, just as long as it is properly registered.

Once you find the vehicle you wish to purchase, you can then provide us with its details and we’ll verify the vehicle’s value against your conditional offer and run a full credit enquiry.

If you’re purchasing a vehicle from a dealership, we will need an invoice from the dealership that contains the contract of sale, details about the car and the dealership’s bank account information.

If you’re purchasing a vehicle from a private seller, we will provide you with a blank tax invoice for you and the seller to use. We will also need to see the certificate of registration from the seller, and confirmation of the bank account details where the payment will be made to. Download the tax invoice here.

If everything is within our lending guidelines, we’ll send you the loan contract for you to sign. Once you sign the contract and send it back to us, we will transfer the funds to the dealership or private seller, and you can enjoy your new vehicle.

Please note we will need a certificate of insurance that shows one year of comprehensive coverage and that lists Fair Go Finance as the financial interest before we transfer the funds.

No stress. As part of your car and vehicle loan with Fair Go Finance, we offer a complimentary Car Concierge service to help take the stress out of finding your dream car. Ask our friendly staff about Car Concierge if your application is approved.
