Set your budget before you start shopping
Get a clear spending limit before you spend a Saturday visiting car yards. I'll talk through the repayments you're comfortable with, any deposit or trade-in, and the car you have in mind, then help arrange pre-approval before you commit to a purchase.
Your budget needs room for registration, CTP insurance, comprehensive insurance, servicing, tyres and fuel or charging. Add the tolls and parking you expect to pay during a normal Sydney week, along with money for repairs on a used car. If weekends include the Grand Pacific Drive through Royal National Park, allow for those kilometres as well.
Same day pre-approval is possible, depending on your circumstances and the lender. I'll explain any conditions and check the car's eligibility before you rely on the approval to buy. No deposit options may be available, subject to lender approval, and I can explain how borrowing more affects your repayments.

6.00% p.a. is a starting point for estimating repayments only. It is not a quote, not an offer of finance, and not a rate available to every applicant. Your actual rate depends on the lender, the asset, the loan term, the loan amount and your circumstances. Adjust to model scenarios.

Buying from a dealer in Sydney
Artarmon and Brookvale are useful areas to compare cars, with dealer clusters around the Pacific Highway in Artarmon and Pittwater Road in Brookvale. You can inspect different models in the same area, then send me the details of the car you prefer.
Send me the vehicle details and dealer invoice, including any trade-in or deposit already agreed. I'll check the purchase against the lender's requirements and deal directly with the dealer on the finance paperwork and settlement.
If you're comparing two cars, send both through before making your decision. The age and price can affect the available finance, so checking early helps you choose with a clearer idea of the repayments. I'll keep you updated on what is needed and when settlement is ready.
Buying a car privately
I handle the seller contact and finance paperwork for a private car purchase in Sydney through the following steps.
Get pre-approved, then go and look at the car.
Once you've inspected it and agreed on a price, send me the seller's details.
I contact the seller for ownership documents and run a PPSR search to check whether money is owed on the car.
If the lender requires an inspection, I arrange it. Occasionally a valuation is needed too.
I prepare a private sale invoice for you and the seller to sign.
The lender pays the seller directly. Any existing finance is paid out at settlement.
Once the funds clear, you collect the car.
Money owing on the car isn't automatically a deal breaker. It is paid out at settlement so you receive clear ownership.
New South Wales rules and paperwork
When you buy a NSW-registered car, you must transfer the registration into your name within 14 days to avoid a late fee. The seller needs to lodge a Notice of Disposal before you can complete an eligible transfer online. The car's existing CTP insurance transfers automatically with the registration, so you don't need a replacement green slip just because the registered operator changes.
Allow for the registration transfer fee and motor vehicle duty when setting your purchase budget. NSW generally charges duty when a vehicle is first registered or its registration is transferred to another person, although exemptions can apply. For a used car, duty is based on the sale price or market value, whichever is higher, so a discounted purchase price does not necessarily reduce the duty.
Most light vehicles more than five years old need a yearly safety inspection, commonly called a pink slip, for registration renewal. The renewal notice tells you whether an inspection is required, and a NSW report for an ordinary passenger car is valid for six months. Before buying a used car, check when registration expires so you can allow for any inspection and renewal costs coming up soon.
One broker from enquiry to settlement
You'll speak with me throughout your application, including when you have a question about the paperwork or the seller needs an update. I compare the options, explain the proposed loan and follow it through to settlement.
Low-doc options are available for eligible self-employed buyers. Tell me about your work and the car's intended use, and I'll explain the information needed for the options that may suit you.
