loans.com.au has launched what it claims is Australia’s lowest guaranteed car loan rate, with an advertised interest rate of less than 3%.
The loan interest rate for ordinary cars is 2.99% per annum (comparative rate of 3.53% per annum*).
For electric or green vehicles, the loan offers an interest rate 10 basis points lower at 2.89% per annum (comparative rate of 3.43% per annum*).
There are two main pitfalls with the loan that must be respected:
- The car must be a 2022 model year, new or demonstrator with up to 5,000 km.
- The borrower must have a home loan (not necessarily from loans.com.au).
Loans.com.au managing director Marie Mortimer said it was the lowest car loan rate on the market.
“Buying a car has been difficult for some over the past few years due to supply issues and tighter restrictions by some lenders,” Ms Mortimer said.
“We want to help borrowers buy a car and get their keys as quickly as possible.”
Rates are variable and customers can make additional repayments and redesign their loan.
There are no ongoing, monthly or annual fees – there is, however, a $400 loan setup fee.
The maximum loan amount is $100,000 and the minimum loan term is three years while the maximum is five years.
No lump sum payments are allowed.
