How to pick a vehicle that suits your needs

1. Research

Consider things such as make and model to find a car that suits your needs. Also think about other things like size, fuel efficiency and the safety features.

2. Find your car

You can do this by visiting dealerships, browsing online marketplaces or considering private sellers. 

3. Test drive

Organise a test drive for cars you’re interested in, whether it’s with a dealer or online. When driving the car, consider things like comfort, handling and performance of the vehicle.

4. Financing

Decide how you’ll pay for the car. Common methods include using a personal loan, leasing the car, cash or a combination of these. If you’re looking to take out a loan, you can do so by applying online.

Apply online

5. Negotiate price

Discuss the best price you can purchase the car you’re interested in. Make sure to compare prices across various sellers, and be prepared to walk away if the price is outside your budget.

6. Purchase

Once you’ve decided which car you’d like, arrange for the purchase of the vehicle. Ensure you’re comfortable with the terms of the sale, whether you’re buying from a dealership, online marketplace or private seller.

7. Insurance and registration

Ensure your car is adequately insured prior to driving away in your new car. If you’re buying a used car, visit your local motor vehicle authority to transfer the registration into your name.

8. Drive away

Once everything is in order, you can drive away in your new vehicle. Some finance providers may even pay the seller directly for you, such as when you take out CommBank Secured Personal Loans with us.

    1 The car you’re using as a security must be up to seven years old, not be currently under finance and have an active comprehensive insurance policy. The comprehensive insurance policy must be organised prior to loan funding.

    2 Your borrowing capacity depends on a range of factors such as your credit score.

    Eligible vehicles must be fully electric or hybrids emitting less than 120g C02 emissions per kilometre. If you're using the car as security it must be no more than seven years old, not currently under finance and have an active comprehensive insurance policy. The comprehensive insurance policy must be organised prior to loan funding.

    4 Interest rates at the lower end of our range, for example 8.50%/8.50%/6.99% p.a. (comparison rate 9.53%/9.53%/8.40% p.a.), may be offered to customers with an excellent credit history.

    An excellent credit history is determined by, among other things, paying your bills and making loan repayments on or ahead of time, being disciplined with your credit applications, and not overextending yourself financially.

    Actions that can negatively impact your credit history include missing bill or loan repayments, defaulting on your credit facility, or making a large number of credit applications in a short period of time. You can find out more about how your credit score is calculated and tips for improving your credit score at our Credit Score Information Hub.

    At least half of our customers will receive the representative rate or lower. It may not be the actual rate you receive.

    Your interest rate may be different and is based on a number of factors, including your credit history, the information you provide and our assessment of your application. We'll confirm your interest rate upon submission of your application.
