even on a 20k loan @ about 11-12% the interest on a personal loan over about 3 years will be about $6k. Thats not too much when you average it out over that time into a weekly amount. And the difference between say 8% and 12% will only be a few $hundred in the end. Again, if the interest is too much then...

basically you'll struggle to get a "car" loan for an import

you wont be able to a get car loan for an imported car OR "non delivered" australian car because the insurer will use the car as backing if you defunct and they dont like to use imports because they feel it will be harder to sell and you wont get any parts cos it was sold in australia.

Also another major reason is that the car wont be in the red book which is what racv, banks etc look for to obtain car depreciation figures and car resale values (its basically where market value figures come from). Import cars dont get put in to the "red book" so a bank cant estimate its market value

Personal loan you will be limited to about 20k max unless you have shitloads of money in the bank and some good backing for it (good assests)

Most insurance companies now have The Red Book for Imports. It is widely available. I have had 29 cars mostley imports without a single hastle.

Hey d00d.

Most places wont give you a car loan, I had the same problem, but if you apply for a personal loan you should get one. With a personal loan it doesnt really matter what your using the money for. I went with HSBC I didnt have any probs.

They will lend for than 20K for a personal loan.

Hi,

I am after advice as to where to obtain a car loan to purchase an import. I have rung a few places but seem to either get knocked back or get hit with a massive interest rate does anyone know where to go?

Cheers

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
