Hey Guys.

I was going to get my current finance refinanced with Esanda, but

they said they don't finance for imports..... :)

ANy companies out there that do?

Also, looking to pay it off in 3 yrs so they need to have a minimum loan term of 3 yrs...not more.

Or if anyone can hook us up with a low rate, then pls PM me.

Kind Regards,

Paul

You can get a unsecured personal loan from pretty much any bank and as long as you can repay it and havent got a bad credit history they'll lend 30k with out any problems at all. The only problem with unsecured loans is that the finance institution doesnt use your car as security so the interest rates are slightly higher. Normally theres a 2-3% difference p.a. between a secured and unsecured. In a loan term of 3yrs thats not going to make that much of a difference maybe an extra 10-15 bucks a week, if that. You are going to find it extremely tough to find a place to lend you money and use an import as security, none of the big banks will do it, and the smaller places that may generally have hidden fees which makes up for it.

Personally, i would shop around the big banks, and some of the credit unions and get an unsecured variable loan, since the interest rate wont changed that much ovver the next 3yrs to hurt you and by going variable rate you can generally repay as much as you want. Be careful when they say you can make extra repayments on a fixed, there generally is a limit of how much you can repay on top of you standard repayment.

Shop around is the best idea

I personally found that HSBC and MembersEquity unsecured loans were roughly 11.45% which is not too bad for unsecured personal loans.

There is a really cheap company called EasyStreet but I don't think they will loan much money at all as they wanted security which was a different loan with a different division of the company.

Most banks will prefer if you tell them you are taking it out for 5 or 6 years and pay it off early, but watch out for exit fees.

Gareth

HSBC quoted me 10.45% and monthly repayments of $974

$9744 is more than $1022 :P

I think you mean $974. Did you check the term that they calculated the repayments on?

St George may be 36 months. HSBC may be 38 or so.

i had a hell of a time getting finance myself, all the lenders hated hearing "import" mentioned

i eventually went with Police and Nurses

their TV ads are shit, but they were pretty happy to have my business

they do however, seem to need to know where most of the money is going, but they don't seem to care why the money is going there (actually had a bit of trouble explaining the three step import/payment process i was meant to use with my importer, but i got around it)

on 15k it was like 11.24% fixed over 5 years

min fortnightly repayments of like $167

(its cheaper if you do the thing where they deduct repayments from your pay, 10.02% at the time, but i was changing jobs... i guess i have the option to change it now, but their phone number is all the way in my pocket)

I got mine (for my R34) through RACQ (who I work for, but they offer finance to anybody) who onsell from RACV (who offer the same sort of finance directly).

The requirements were:

Bought from a dealer (only because it's an import)

Full comp insurance (a given on financed cars)

Also, because of my pretty much zero credit history, I had to show a savings history.

$25K over 5 years = min $230 fortnightly payments (can't remember what the % rate was)

Edit: Should point out that I'm paying it off quicker than that

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
