What is vehicle finance?

line

Vehicle finance is the most efficient way to acquire a new or used car without needing to pay the full amount upfront. Instead of depleting savings, Basslows helps you secure a loan to purchase the vehicle now, allowing you to repay it in manageable monthly instalments.

Why use a broker? With so many banks and lenders offering different terms, rates, and criteria, finding the best deal on your own is time-consuming. We simplify this. We conduct thorough comparisons across major financial institutions to broker the most favourable arrangement for you, whether that means a lower interest rate, an extended repayment period, or a higher loan amount.

Our financing options

We offer comprehensive support for all types of buyers:

Secure funding for your personal car, SUV, or bakkie.

Understanding your repayment structure

Choosing the right structure is critical for a stress-free ownership journey. Basslows brokers two primary repayment methods:

Standard instalment sale
  • How it works: You borrow the full purchase price and repay it over a set term (usually 24 to 72 months).
  • The benefit: Simple and predictable. Once you make the final payment, you own the car outright.
  • Cost: Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments, but less interest paid overall.
Balloon payment structure
  • How it works: You agree to defer a portion of the capital debt (the “balloon”) until the end of the loan term.
  • The benefit: This significantly lowers your monthly premium, making expensive cars more affordable day-to-day.
  • The catch: You must settle the lump sum at the end of the term (or refinance it).

Fixed vs. variable interest

  • Fixed rate: Your repayment amount remains the same for the entire loan term, regardless of interest rate fluctuations.
  • Variable rate: Your rate is linked to the prime lending rate. If prime goes down, your payments decrease; if it goes up, they increase.

Do you qualify?

To be eligible, lenders look for stability and reliability.

You must have a consistent, verifiable monthly income (payslips or bank statements).

A healthy credit score is essential. It reflects your history of paying debts on time.

Even if you earn a high salary, lenders will assess your “disposable income” to ensure you have sufficient left after expenses to cover the new instalment.
