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.

Me too! But I'm making double payments so I'll be able to knock it over in a year and a half (pay off the balance at that time; the bank will hate me!!!)

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.

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.

When i had my BA it was insane amounts of interest.. stupid me didn't shop around. It was like 13%. With my new mazda its 8.99% over over 5 years. The falcon was a personal loan through commonwealth bank, and the mazda is a secured car loan through bank of queensland.
