Establishing a good track record before applying for vehicle finance

17 Feb 2012

Want to buy a repossessed vehicle on auction, but afraid you will not qualify for vehicle financing? Here are some basic tips you can follow in order to get a good credit track record.
Establish a good credit score: Without you even knowing it, your bank is keeping an eye on your payments and non-payments. These are being recorded, which make up your credit score.
Do not exceed your repayment limits: The bank will establish what percentage of your salary you can spend per month, ensuring that there are sufficient funds in case the interest rate rises.
Save for a sufficient deposit: The bigger deposit you can guarantee the bank, the better chance you have of that vehicle finance being granted.
Avoid preventable debt: This is the most important factor. Pay your current debt off as soon as possible, and avoid more debt.
