-
This is a very common question that is always essential to ask. We love this question as we have managed to secure market leading interest rates that start from 2.69% for brand new vehicle purchases.
The key thing here is that every customer is different, and all are in a different stage of their business or personal journey. Our biggest goal at Yakka Finance is we want to look after you and your business for the lifetime that you are trading. That means we want to finance every single vehicle you or your business ever purchases.
The only way we have so many loyal customers is our service is great and we can secure market leading interest rates. If our interest rates were high, we would never ever have the amount of loyal business owners that use our services every single day.
The big advantage for you and your business is because of the volumes of classic vehicles we finance and the quality of our application submissions we are offered preferential interest rates from the banks that not all finance brokerages are able to secure. This is a big advantage to our business to keep our customers happy but also a huge advantage to you and your business.
-
There are many factors that can influence the interest rate on the car you have decided to purchase.
Here are some key considerations that can influence the interest rate on your car finance:
- How long you have been in business or employed at your job for?
- If you are purchasing your classic vehicle from a licensed car dealership or a car from a Private Seller
- What the specific year build the vehicle you are purchasing is. For example, a brand new or near new car would secure a much lower interest rate compared to a classic classic vehicle that is much older with a 2003-year build vehicle.
- If you or your spouse is a Property Owner or if you are currently renting
- Your total car loan amount. On some occasions the higher the car loan amount the lower the bank will interest rate can be
- If you have had vehicle finance before and if your repayment history has been good or bad
- If you have a clean credit file or a credit file with a low score
-
Yes, we sure can. No matter how classic or old your classic vehicle is there are still financiers willing to approve them.
-
We can usually obtain a classic vehicle finance approval within 2 hours to 48 hours of receiving all your details. Let us know your timeframe and we will work with you to get your vehicle approved and settled with the most appropriate lender due to the time you are needing your new vehicle by. The bigger the vehicle loan amount (Above $250,000) can sometimes slow the application process down by a day or two as more documentation needs to be assessed and put together for your approval to ensure it gets you the best deal possible.
-
The average car loan term is between 3-7 years (36 to 84 months). The choice of loan term is ultimately your choice. The shorter the term would result in a higher monthly repayment as you are paying the loan off on a shorter loan period. If you every want to play around with what Loan Term works for you on your classic vehicle.

-
A balloon payment is a lump sum which is owed to the lender at the very end of your car loan term, after all your regular monthly repayments have been made. It allows you to repay only part of the principal amount of your car loan over the term you request. The reason for having a Balloon Payment is that it allows you to lower your monthly repayments for cashflow purposes.
When it comes to end of your loan contract, and you will still have your Balloon Payment to deal with. It is easy to refinance your balloon payment at the end of your loan. Alternatively, you can trade the car in for a new one or sell your car to another party which if structured correctly should be more than the balloon payment you owe.
It is completely your choice whether you want a balloon payment in your loan structure to reduce your monthly repayments or not. We can workshop this with you to make sure the repayments suit you and your transport business.
-
Yes, financing a classic vehicle from a Private Seller is very common and we do these types of transactions all the time. Our customer love finding a great deal on a classic vehicle they find privately. We will handle the whole entire sale process with the private seller for you and arrange for them to get paid by the bank or financier correctly. This process is very streamlined for us, and we only require the agreed price you have negotiated with the private seller on your classic. We will handle the whole entire process from there.
-
It’s generally recommended to make sure you are happy with the car you are buying especially if you are purchasing through a private seller. When it comes to Private Sales, most finance companies will require a third-party finance inspection on the vehicle to make sure the car’s asset identifiers (VIN Number & Engine Number) matches the Registration papers and the Tax Invoice before the bank will settle on it.
We simply will book in a Finance Inspection company in for you (or inspect the vehicle ourselves) to take photos of the Front, Back, Sides, Odometer and Compliance Plate of the car to make sure it all matches your loan documents, registration papers and Tax Invoice so we can move through to settlement.
We also complete a PPSR search on the car to make sure the vehicle is not a write off or has been stolen. You are welcome to also do a mechanical inspection on the vehicle (at additional costs) to make sure the car is mechanically sound just to make sure you are completely comfortable on moving ahead with the car purchase. We can also able to book in a vehicle mechanical inspection for you.
-
Yes! We offer a wide range of products and solutions for personal car loans not just business car loans.
Generally, all we need is your last 2 to 4 payslips or alternatively your Individual Tax Return.
Feel free to call us on 1300 842 911 and we will connect you with a personal car finance specialist so they can tell you exactly the best way to go down for the best finance approval. -

We will give you true and honest feedback once we have a look at what vehicle you are purchasing, your current repayment structure and what stage you or your business is currently in. Given the opportunity we won’t let you down on securing a low interest rate approval for you.

Of course! We have financed multiple classic car purchases for many of our clients. We look to build long-term relationships with our clients. We don’t just want to finance one purchase for you, we want to support you on every single purchase you ever make.
-
We can refinance existing loans with other lenders. This could enable you to benefit from more competitive monthly payments and take advantage of any increase in the car’s value.

Yes, we have a large variety of banks that will give you an approval without having to put your own businesses cash reserves into the vehicle purchase and it won’t affect your interest rate in most scenarios. Our most common car loan is with no deposit required.
-
Yes, we secure car loan approvals for Low Credit Score applicants. We are comfortable on getting your car loans approved with a low Credit Score or Credit Defaults. We fully understand that what happens in the past doesn’t dictate necessarily where you are now. With most of our clients if they get a Credit Default on their Credit file there is normally a good reason behind the credit default and why it’s there.
Some of our customers are just unlucky with missing the payment of Energy Bills when they change their residential address or have had a dispute over a phone bill where they were charged to much by their phone provider. These are all very common and banks have a good understanding of this.
We always get an understanding of why your Credit Score is below the average and then effectively communicate to the appropriate bank as to why it is lower. Please have comfort that we know how to communicate correctly to the right banks or lenders on the story on the Credit Score and/or Credit Default to get your car loan approved.
In addition, we have a great external team we utilise to lift the Credit Default off your file and lift your credit score for you.

Although we are happy for you to go to your bank to obtain your Classic vehicle Finance, we know that it almost always doesn’t deliver the same outcome to you or your business. We know our process compared to a banks process is completely different and we pride ourselves on it. Here are some key reasons as to why we are better than a bank for your car loan approval:
- You could end up going to the wrong bank who would decline you or charge you a higher interest rate and make you jump through a lot more administration hoops just to secure a simple Classic Car Finance approval with the right lender. We know the banking landscape extremely well and once we get an understanding of your business and what car you are purchasing; we will then take you to the most appropriate bank to secure your finance approval with ease.
- It’s so important to spread your loans across multiple banks. Why? It means that one bank never owns you or your business and instead we have multiple banks fighting for your business constantly. This keeps competition high and interest rates low for you.
- One bank will have a better interest rate than another bank depending on what car you are purchasing at different times of the year. We know exactly which specific banks to go to at certain times of the year on different types of cars.
- Don’t waste a credit enquiry on your credit file going to the wrong bank. When we submit your car loan for an approval, we know it’s going to be approved. This keeps your Credit File Scores strong as every credit enquiry results in a finance approval when dealing with us.
- You will spend a lot more of your own time and efforts putting an application together when dealing with the bank and have no idea if you will get an approval. When we go to a bank, we are already 99% sure they will approve your car loan.
- With Yakka you will always have one point of contact for every car purchase you make for your business. Bank Managers are always changing roles in the banks. You might have a great relationship with a bank manager for one year and then they move on, and you have to build a completely new relationship with another bank manager that might not understand your transport business. At Yakka Finance we are not going anywhere, we get to know your business and are here to have a strong relationship with you and your business long-term.
