I'd been turned down by two other dealers and was expecting the same run-around. The Car Place team actually listened, ran a soft check, and came back with an approval the next morning. No hit to my credit score.
No. We start with a soft credit check, which has zero impact on your credit score and won't show on your credit report. A full credit check only happens once you decide to proceed with a formal application, with your explicit consent.
Yes, most of the time. We work with 12+ NZ lenders, and each one underwrites differently. A 'no' from your bank doesn't mean a 'no' across the board. Bruised credit, defaults more than 24 months old, low deposit, self-employed income, these are all things we deal with every week.
Not at all. We have specific lenders on our panel for self-employed, contract, and sole-trader applicants. You'll typically need 3 months of business bank statements or recent invoices. We'll tell you exactly what's required after your initial application.
It's indicative, based on 9.95% p.a. across the panel's average. Your actual rate is set once a lender assesses your application: stronger credit means a lower rate, less so means slightly higher. We always send you the exact figures before you commit.
No. It costs nothing to apply, get a pre-approval, or see your rate. Lender establishment fees apply only if you proceed with a loan, and we'll always show you the full breakdown before you sign.
Pre-approval in 24 hours. No commitment, no upfront fees, and zero hit to your credit score.
