How to Finance Your Used Car Purchase: A Complete Guide

Buying a used car can be an exciting and cost-effective way to get behind the wheel of a vehicle you love. However, figuring out how to finance your purchase can sometimes feel overwhelming. At Jan Japan Motors Ltd, we make the financing process straightforward and stress-free. With competitive rates and a high success rate, we ensure you drive away happy.

Why Finance Your Used Car?

Financing a used car offers several advantages:

  • Manageable Payments: Spread the cost of your car over a period that suits your budget.
  • Upgrade Options: Afford a better car than you might be able to purchase outright.
  • Build Credit: Timely payments can help improve your credit score.

Can I Apply with Bad Credit?

One of the most common concerns we hear from customers is: "I have bad credit. Can I still apply?"

The Answer: Yes, You Can!

At Jan Japan Motors Ltd, we believe in giving everyone a fair chance. If you have bad credit, you can still apply for car financing. Depending on your situation, we will try our best to present your application to the most appropriate finance company that will have higher chances of your application being successful. So, don't delay – let's apply today! Finance Application | Jan's Group (janjapan.co.nz)

How to Apply for Car Finance

Applying for car finance with us is easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Step 1: Determine Your Budget

Before you start shopping, figure out how much you can afford to spend each month on car payments. This will help you narrow down your choices and avoid overstretching your finances.

Step 2: Choose Your Car

Visit our car yard or browse our online inventory to find the perfect used car for you. Our team is always ready to assist you in finding a vehicle that suits your needs and budget.

Step 3: Submit Your Application

Once you've chosen your car, our finance team will help you fill out a finance application. You’ll need to provide some basic information, including:

  • Proof of Income: Recent payslips or bank statements.
  • Proof of ID: A valid driver’s license or passport.
  • Monthly Expenses: Details of your monthly outgoings, such as rent, utilities, and other obligations.

Step 4: Get Approved

Our finance partners will review your application. With an approval rate of over 80%, you have a great chance of securing the financing you need. If approved, they will provide you with the terms of your loan, including the interest rate, repayment schedule, and any fees.

Step 5: Drive Away

Once everything is in place, you’ll sign the finance agreement and drive away in your new car! It’s that simple.

Tips for a Smooth Financing Process

  • Check Your Credit Score: Knowing your credit score can help you understand what to expect during the financing process.
