Car Loans & Car Finance in Arncliffe
Your Car Finance Journey
Car finance works by providing you with the necessary funds to buy your desired vehicle.
Here's a simplified breakdown of the process:
1. Start Your Application
Provide your personal, financial, and vehicle details. We’ll submit everything to a lender for a full assessment.
2. Lender Review & Outcome
The lender checks your application to ensure the loan is suitable for you.
Please note: approval is subject to the lender’s criteria and is not guaranteed.
3. Review Your Formal Offer
If approved, the lender will provide a loan contract detailing the amount, term, interest rate, and repayments. You’ll also receive a Key Facts Sheet with the comparison rate and all fees—helping you compare and confirm the true cost.
4. Complete Your Purchase
After you accept and sign the loan contract, finance is settled and you can finalise your vehicle purchase.
5. Manage Your Repayments
You’ll make regular payments to the lender over the chosen loan term, as outlined in your contract.
6. Gain Full Ownership
Once the loan is repaid in full, the lender releases its security interest over the vehicle. You then become the outright owner.
We work with a panel of lenders and may receive a commission for arranging your finance.

WHAT WILL MY INTEREST RATE BE?
Your interest rate is a crucial factor in determining the overall cost of your car loan. Several factors influence the interest rate you'll be offered, including:
- Credit Score
The higher your credit score, the more likely you are to receive a lower interest rate. - Loan Term
Generally, shorter loan terms come with lower interest rates, while longer terms may have slightly higher rates. - Loan Amount
The amount you're borrowing can impact your interest rate. Larger loans may have lower rates, but your creditworthiness still plays a significant role. - Market Conditions
Interest rates can also fluctuate due to broader economic conditions. Keep an eye on market trends when considering a car loan. - Suttons Policies
Policies and rates may vary. Our team works with you to help you find the best rates. - Down Payment
Making a substantial down payment can lower the loan amount, potentially reducing your interest costs.

Reviews
Suttons Arncliffe offers consumer car loans for private buyers, as well as business finance options including chattel mortgage, novated lease, and commercial hire purchase. Our finance team will help identify the product that suits your situation, whether you're buying a first car, upgrading your family vehicle, or purchasing through a business.
No finance approval is guaranteed. Your application is assessed by the lender based on your financial situation, credit history, and the lender's own criteria. Suttons works with a panel of lenders to help improve your chances of finding a suitable product, but we are required by law to be clear that approval is not guaranteed and is subject to each lender's assessment.
The process starts with providing your personal, financial, and vehicle details. Our team submits your application to a lender for assessment. If approved, you'll receive a formal loan contract showing the loan amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and all fees — including a Key Facts Sheet with the comparison rate. You review and sign before the vehicle is handed over. The whole process can often be completed same-day for straightforward applications.
A comparison rate is a standardised figure that combines the interest rate with most fees and charges associated with a loan, expressed as a single annual percentage. It gives you a more accurate picture of the true cost of borrowing than the advertised interest rate alone. Under Australian law, lenders are required to disclose the comparison rate so you can compare products on a like-for-like basis.
Yes. Finance is available on both new and pre-owned vehicles at Suttons Arncliffe. Eligibility and interest rates may vary depending on the age and condition of the vehicle, as well as your financial profile. Speak with our finance team to discuss the options available for the specific vehicle you're considering.
Suttons offers Afterpay for service bookings, which lets you pay for your car service in four equal fortnightly instalments, interest-free. This applies to servicing costs rather than vehicle purchases. It's a convenient way to manage cash flow for routine maintenance. Book your service as normal and select Afterpay at checkout.
