I'm with you Minh,
i had SOO many troubles finding a finance company that can "secure" a loan to an imported vehicle.. I went thru AGC in the end, and got $26k
Westpac and St George wouldnt give me a $25k unsecured loan... as I'm only 20 and have no savings history. regardless of the fact I can EASILY afford the repayments.. banks are nazi's.
Westpac wouldnt "secure" to an import. and most finance companies wont due to it being a grey import.
My solution. i got TWO loans, one unsecured and one secured. I used the unsecured 10K loan as a deposit for the secured loan. worked FINE.
I also went through a broker here in perth too. so that helped push things in my favour, remember a broker has access to lending products/rates/criteria that the general public doesnt.
Short story: Unsecured personal loans for large amounts are hard to get. Get it secured, but good luck finding a company that will do it.
Hope that give you something to think about .
