Wally
Wally
Meet Wally, a Gold Coast-based customer who came to loans.com.au for a car loan when he needed to upgrade his vehicle.
Wally was in the market for a new vehicle after deciding it was time to upgrade from his older car. With help from his son-in-law, who has experience buying cars, Wally attended a car auction in Brisbane. Together, they set out to find the right vehicle—eventually landing on a Mazda CX-5 with low kilometres and in great condition.
Wally needed to secure a car loan before attending the auction.

Meet Sinisa, an awesome customer of ours who came to us when he wanted to finance a new car purchase.
I like Toyotas and I own two. When it came time to replace one, I decided to buy a Toyota Corolla hybrid.
I did some research online and spoke to a number of different lenders on the phone. I decided that loans.com.au was the best option because of its great rate and other loan features. I applied online and then they called me on the phone and we took it from there

Daniel
Meet Daniel, a fantastic customer of ours who came to us when he needed a bigger car to accommodate his growing family.
Daniel and his partner needed a larger, more capable vehicle to suit their family’s lifestyle. With five children between them and a love for camping and towing a caravan, their previous car just wasn’t cutting it. It was time for an upgrade to something roomier and more robust—a Toyota LandCruiser Prado.
He applied for pre-approval, found the process quick and straightforward, and was soon driving away in a new Toyota LandCruiser.
