Do you even HAVE a credit file?

You just turned 18 so chances are it's still blank. With 6 enquiries for loans. Banks number 2-6 are probably looking at it thinking "Hmmm, wonder why the first bank didnt give him a loan" and denying your application.

Go with your current bank, they can see your savings history (no other banks can)

Best bet would be to get a cheap first car on a secured loan, drive it for a year, pay as much off as you can, THEN move up to an import.

Unsecured 10k isn't usually hard to get at 18 with savings history.

I work for bankwest Personal Loan lender, strange u got knocked back mate, doesnt make a dif to us whether its an import or not. And yeh because of current global credit problems all banks have raised their risk intake levels

Hey is it 3 or 6 months that i have to wait before another enquiry with bankwest?

Had a job for 6months , maybe theres ya reason

global credit problems all banks have raised their risk intake levels

bankwest rejected yet walk across road to st george n they more then happy to help me ...

I just told the bank the money was for "Plumbing equipment"

They kinda wised up though when I withdraw it all in cash,

The teller said to me "Your not buying plumbing equipment with this money, are you"

Was hard to keep a straight face,

If your folks are cool with it get them as a guarantor, meaning one of ur folks names are on the loan as well as yourself, but deposits coming out of your account. When I was 18 last year I got 15k out with zero credit history and in 1 month of having a full time job. Gives the bank some piece of mind if u cant make payments they'll hassle ur folks. :D

Not sure why the banks didn't recommend that option to you..

The 200sx I'm looking at is private and I'm with bank west they knocked me back but didn't give me a reason.

I'm also employed full time and have been for 6 months and i have 4 grand to put towards the car/insurance most to insurance.

I was planning on finding a new bank that doesn't mind unsecured imports and putting all my money into that account and get my pay directly into that account so they can see my income which is around 40k a year.

Also i have no debt and no credit cards or anything of the sort.

Dude you should be fine try a different bank ask around 1st call up BUT dont say ur name just say your interesent in getting a loan !

Sorry if this has already been said but have you considered just getting a Personal Loan and not mentioning it's specific to an import? I'm with CBA and When I got my loan for $10k I told the banks it was going to a range of things, a vehicle as I had written mine off, travel, new things for the home, bond etc

Yeah they need to know where the mass majority of the loan is going but I found out after I took out the loan that the reason they needed to know that was for a follow up call for trying to sell insurance to me.

Also don't call too many banks at once. I called three different places in the oen day and got rejected from all andit was due to the previous quotes still existign or something like that. If you put in an interest in a loan with oen place, wait at least a fortnight till you go for another. Also if your bank has been overdrawn in the past 3 months you have no hope!! Mien was rejected for a $10 accidental overdraw. You need to shwo the banks you can control your accounts.

And what's the big hurry for anyways? You're only a little one, get yourself a bunky first. It's not just a case of take out a loan, buy a fully sick car and you're done. You've got to make sure you've got security to pay for the loan, there's interest to conider, loan protection, you're putting your own credit history on the line at a very young age, then also if anythign happens, you need to be able to cover repairs etc

At the end of the day you may end up needing a parent to go guaranture for you anyway for that amount of money at your age with no credit history?

I got a loan with westpac without question what the money was used for. I think if its unsecured they dont care what the money is used for? I was 18 then and only on 33k a year but had about $7,000 saved up with no bad credit history. Have you tried west australian finance?

is yours a secured or unsecured loan?

Not that we don't care what its for, just have 2 check its not used for personal investment, business use or illegal shite.

And yeh all banks tightened their policy... didnt say to the same level. So some banks will be easier to get finance with than others. but 90% of the time your own bank would be your best bet... as long as wot melski said you manage all your accounts porperly.

i got a 18k unsec loan with anz wen i was 18.... now work at bankwest so jsut refinanced... gd old 9% staff rates ahahahaa

LOL Champ i wish, id have more friends than paris hilton has on facebook.... but im happy to give out tips or if you are unsure about something.

BTW don't get personal loans guys - debt = bad.... save up as much as you can! Especially for a car, which is an asset that depreciates in value.

can your parents back you up?

i got turned down, although i have a full time job upstairs from the bank LOL.

i wanted about, wouldn't give it to me, so i just got 5 of parents, interest free but i have to drive a celica. i think it was good choice, i can pay it of as fast or slow as i like, it's cheap as to run, insure, etc. let's me save for something new in the long wrong.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
