Why Arrange Finance Before You Shop?
Shopping for a car is easier when the finance conversation has already started. Conditional pre-approval may help you understand a potential borrowing amount and the conditions attached to it. It is a planning tool—not a promise to fund any vehicle—and gives you a clearer starting point for choosing a car that fits your budget.
A Clearer Shopping Budget
A conditional lending decision can help define a potential price range. Set your own comfortable budget too, with room for running costs—not just the maximum you may borrow.
A More Focused Car Search
Shortlist cars that fit your price range and the lender’s vehicle requirements. Spend less time chasing options that may not suit the finance you are exploring.
Negotiate with More Clarity
Knowing your potential budget can help you discuss price with a seller. It does not guarantee a discount or make you an unconditional cash buyer.
We Handle the Finance
While you look for the right car, we get to work on your finance. Your own Aussie broker handles the paperwork and keeps you updated.
Prepare Paperwork Early
Gather income, identity and financial details before finding the car. Early preparation can make the next steps more organised, although approval timing varies.
Explore Dealer or Private Cars
Depending on the lender, you may be able to shop across dealership and private-sale vehicles. Confirm the car and seller meet the approval conditions first.
Shop With a Clearer Finance Plan
Start with your budget, not a guess. We help you understand your potential finance amount and the steps between pre-approval and collecting your car.
Understand Your Budget
Tell us about your income, expenses and existing commitments. We’ll work with you to find a suitable amount to apply for, based on your budget.
Know What Your Approval Means
We’ll explain the amount, conditions and expiry date of your pre-approval. You’ll know what still needs checking and when an update is needed if your plans or circumstances change.
Choose the Car and Finalise
Once you find a car, send us the listing or dealer quote. We check the car’s details and help organise final approval, the paperwork and payment to the seller. When payment is complete, you can arrange to pick up your car.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Send an enquiry and our local team will call to confirm the details and get things moving.

Before You Rely on a Pre-Approval
Use conditional approval to plan your purchase—not as permission to skip the checks. Keep these three points in view while you search for your car.
Read the Conditions

Car Loan Pre-Approval FAQs
What does car loan pre-approval mean?
It’s a conditional indication of the finance you may be able to arrange before choosing a car. We explain your potential budget and what still needs to happen before final approval.
Does pre-approval guarantee my car loan?
No. Pre-approval is conditional, so it isn’t a guarantee. We’ll explain the remaining checks and paperwork, including the details of the car you choose, before you commit to buying it.
How long does a car loan pre-approval last?
The expiry date depends on the approval you receive. We’ll tell you how long it lasts and what to do if you’re still shopping when that date approaches.
Do I need to choose a car before applying?
No. We can work towards a conditional pre-approval before you choose a car, so you can shop with a clearer budget. We’ll let you know of any conditions. Once you’ve found the car you like, simply let us know and we’ll take care of the rest.
Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?
Checking your initial eligibility with us doesn’t affect your credit score. If you proceed with a formal lender application, the lender may make a credit enquiry with your consent. We explain that step before you proceed.
What documents will I need for pre-approval?
We’ll usually start with your photo ID and proof of income, such as payslips, plus details of your expenses and existing loans. You don’t need to have chosen a car yet. If anything else is needed, we’ll let you know.
Do I need a deposit to get pre-approved?
We can explore no-deposit options as part of your pre-approval. If your circumstances or chosen car mean a deposit is needed, we’ll explain the amount and next steps before you commit.
What Happens After You Enquire?
Tell us what you need and we’ll get to work. Our local team will call to confirm the details, organise your application and keep you updated.
