Sorry if this has already been said but have you considered just getting a Personal Loan and not mentioning it's specific to an import? I'm with CBA and When I got my loan for $10k I told the banks it was going to a range of things, a vehicle as I had written mine off, travel, new things for the home, bond etc
Yeah they need to know where the mass majority of the loan is going but I found out after I took out the loan that the reason they needed to know that was for a follow up call for trying to sell insurance to me.
Also don't call too many banks at once. I called three different places in the oen day and got rejected from all andit was due to the previous quotes still existign or something like that. If you put in an interest in a loan with oen place, wait at least a fortnight till you go for another. Also if your bank has been overdrawn in the past 3 months you have no hope!! Mien was rejected for a $10 accidental overdraw. You need to shwo the banks you can control your accounts.
And what's the big hurry for anyways? You're only a little one, get yourself a bunky first. It's not just a case of take out a loan, buy a fully sick car and you're done. You've got to make sure you've got security to pay for the loan, there's interest to conider, loan protection, you're putting your own credit history on the line at a very young age, then also if anythign happens, you need to be able to cover repairs etc
At the end of the day you may end up needing a parent to go guaranture for you anyway for that amount of money at your age with no credit history?
