I got mine originally with Commbank at like 11.75 or something because we have a mortgage with Colonial. The loan tho, was variable and interest rates started going up so I secured it. Now it's about 13.2 or something, but that was for my car and mods to the car as well and the money was given to me as cash, hence I can do anything with it. It was more like a personal loan than a car loan I guess.

10.4% fixed rate secured over 4 years from which bank on the XR8 ute. Should be picking it up right now, but there was a stuff up with the VIN numbers and they couldn't transfer the funds till nearly 5:30 yesterday arvo so the dealer couldn't check it acctually happened, so I'll have to wait until monday.

Boo Hisss You would have been eager to get it for the weekend. that sucks

Mine is 9.55% fixed through suncorp. the cba wanted 13.75% unless we took our morgage over to them, yeah right. Iv'e had my accounts with them all my life and thats not good enough, they want the morgage too.
They missed out.

How are you guys getting such cheap rates ?...When I bought my car 3 years ago i got a personal loan through St George at 12.5% which is rather steep compared to what you guys are getting.

I'm now looking upgrading to a GT/GTP so need to organise some finance so any help would be appreciated.

Commercial Loan / Leasing is cheaper thats why most of us get around the 8s, but the rates have gone up, early 9s are good at the moment!

10.99% comparison rate though easy street. Actually, it's an unsecured personal loan.

Pretty good.. $6000 loan over 3 years works out to only a touch over $1000 in interest.

Zilch. Who would take out a loan for an EA? They're worth nothing.

Thats been my life story too,never had a loan in my life, not even the plastic (and still don't have the plastic) until a couple of years ago for my house, but I'm thinking I might get little loans for my future mods. Few grand at a time pay it off and then another pay that off and so on. Other wise I'll be over the hill by the time I do it. A good reason for me is when you have commitment like loan repayment it makes less likely to blow money else where eg pub, fancy clothes buying shite you don't really need.
But you gotta be sencible about it and don't bite off more than you can chew.
I hate mortgages :
