The maximum car loan term will differ from lender to lender, but is typically between 5 and 7 years. The car loan term you choose will affect your car loan repayments - the longer the car loan term, the lower your car loan repayments will be but the more interest you end up paying. Our team at Fit Financial is always available to speak to you to discuss all your options for your next car loan to make sure you have all the information before you make your decision.

Yes, you can. Our team at Fit Financial understands that not everyone has a traditional 9-5 job. We have car loan products available for self-employed individuals, including “no-doc” and “low-doc” loans. Because we work with so many small business owners we understand that not every business owner has all of their tax returns and financials completely up to date and so it is important to us to make it as easy and as frictionless as possible to help you apply and get an approval. All we need to do is gather some basic information from you in order to assess your car loan application and be able to match you to the best suited lender and present all your options.

Yes you can sell the vehicle at any time throughout the loan term however, you need to be aware that you will need to pay off the loan plus any fees or charges for early termination that a lender may charge. It's always best to speak with your car loan lender beforehand to understand the fees and charges you might be liable to pay. At Fit Financial we have access to many lenders who do not charge any early termination fees. If your intention is to sell the car before the loan term ends please let us know so we can factor this in when selecting the best loan for you.

A secured car loan is a loan that is backed by collateral and referred to as a "secured" car loan. The collateral for the loan when applying for a secured car loan can be the car itself, or some other property that the borrower owns outright. An unsecured car loan does not have any collateral attached however, in most cases will attract a higher interest rate.

Obtaining a loan secured against your house will get you the best interest rate but if you take 30 years to pay it off this will cost you significantly more in total interest cost than a 5 year car loan at a higher rate. So this is a good option as long as you are disciplined and repay the loan inside a 3-7 year period - regardless of the loan term your bank allows you to have.
