Loans are the devil.

Try hit up a family member for a loan, work something out with them and sign some forms etc. Much cheaper, easier and hey atleast your giving like 5% (or whatever interest rate you guys work out) to a family member instead of throwing it at a bank which makes 2 billion dollars profit in 4 months.

I've had 2 recent loans with both National & St George. I found National are the quickest + at the time they were waiving the application fee. St George have been a bit slow lately with both approvals + processing.. i.e. you call the processing dept and wait like 15-20 mins. Probably check the interest rates though.

I got a $25k loan with my parents as a guarentour (sp?) so my repayments only have about 8.5% interest :(. The money is automatically transfered from my account to my parents either instantly or a day or so before the payment is made to the bank....

Good place to check out interest rates is www.infochoice.com.au

Usually have trouble getting a loan for an import for two reasons:

1) age (generally over the 3/5/8 year old maximum age for a car under loan purchase)

2) it's an import

You get a personal loan then spend it on whatever you want.

Car loans are like mortgages. They won't accept imports because they won't want to sell them.

Personal loans are not guaranteed, so attract a higher rate of interest but you get to do what you like with the cash.

If you can't sort out a cheap rate for yourself you should probably not sign anything yourself and ask your parents to help you... (assuming they know how to shop around)

I met with St. Goerge today, interest rate is about 11.5%

They do both fixed and variable loans, the fixed means that the rate won't change (duh) but if you pay the loan off early, you incurr additional fee's.

The variable allows the rate to fluctuate but it almost never does much either way.

The majority of loans done are on variable terms.

I'm meeting with CPS tomorrow as i think they are doing about an 8.5% variable.

I'm having to shop around, as being purely on commission i'm hard to finance.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
