Borrow from $4,000 to $100,000, depending on the value of the car. You may be able to borrow up to 120% of the car's value when using your existing car as security.2

A Secured Personal Loan can be used for buying a new or used car up to five years old that doesn’t have any finance owing on it. The amount can be for the full or partial purchase price depending on whether you’ve paid a deposit. You’re unable to borrow for additional loan purposes (e.g. a car for $20,000 and furniture for $5,000 is not accepted) when buying a car.
If you’re not buying a car, a Secured Personal Loan can be used for multiple loan purposes where you are able to provide your existing car that’s up to five years old, comprehensively insured and doesn’t have any finance owing on it as security for the loan.

A secured personal loan is a loan guaranteed by an asset, such as a car. The lender uses this asset as security, which means that if you don’t make the agreed repayments the lender can take possession of the asset and sell it to cover the cost of the loan. This security means that the lender can offer a lower interest rate for the loan.
