Finance Now Car Loan FAQS
When you fail to make a payment, or a breach in the agreement, the following fees will apply: $10 dishonour payment, $15 per broken arrangement, and $10 per written correspondence. To avoid default charges, you have to ensure that you’ll meet your end of the agreement, such as making repayments at the right time and with the right amount.
When buying a car, it’s important to seek assistance from someone you can trust, so that you can accommodate more opinions about the car. Check if the car has a current Warrant of Fitness (WOF) and registration. Also, check the physical condition of the car such as body panels, exhaust, seatbelts, and the presence of indentations. Ask the seller or dealer about the history of the car, accidents encountered (if any), past owners, and service records. For complete reassurance, you can get a pre-purchase vehicle inspection from a qualified mechanic.
If you haven’t settled the loan in full, or haven’t received a written permission from Finance Now, you can’t sell the vehicle or any asset that you’ve registered as security for the car loan.
