Car Loans & Car Finance
Your car finance yourney
Car finance works by providing you with the necessary funds to buy your desired vehicle.
Here's a simplified breakdown of the process:
1. Start Your Application
Provide your personal, financial, and vehicle details. We’ll submit everything to a lender for a full assessment.
2. Lender Review & Outcome
The lender checks your application to ensure the loan is suitable for you.
Please note: approval is subject to the lender’s criteria and is not guaranteed.3. Review Your Formal Offer
If approved, the lender will provide a loan contract detailing the amount, term, interest rate, and repayments. You’ll also receive a Key Facts Sheet with the comparison rate and all fees—helping you compare and confirm the true cost.
4. Complete Your Purchase
After you accept and sign the loan contract, finance is settled and you can finalise your vehicle purchase.
5. Manage Your Repayments
You’ll make regular payments to the lender over the chosen loan term, as outlined in your contract
6. Gain Full Ownership
Once the loan is repaid in full, the lender releases its security interest over the vehicle. You then become the outright owner.
We work with a panel of lenders and may receive a commission for arranging your finance.

What will my interest rate be?
Your interest rate is a crucial factor in determining the overall cost of your car loan. Several factors influence the interest rate you'll be offered, including:
- Credit Score
The higher your credit score, the more likely you are to receive a lower interest rate.
- Loan Term
Generally, shorter loan terms come with lower interest rates, while longer terms may have slightly higher rates.
- Loan Amount
The amount you're borrowing can impact your interest rate. Larger loans may have lower rates, but your creditworthiness still plays a significant role.
- Market Conditions
Interest rates can also fluctuate due to broader economic conditions. Keep an eye on market trends when considering a car loan.
- Suttons Policies
Policies and rates may vary. Our team works with you to help you find the best rates.
- Down Payment
Making a substantial down payment can lower the loan amount, potentially reducing your interest costs.
