5 MINUTES WITH.... Andrew Bartimote
Assistant Manager at First Choice Credit Union What types of vehicle finance do you offer? We offer a range of low rate vehicle loans, for any vehicle. What advantages do you offer over other car lenders? Our low rates for one, and our loans cover new and used cars and deposits are not necessary. We also offer fast turnaround. If someone is wanting a car loan, what’s the first step? Customers can come into our office, call us or go online, it’s pretty easy and convenient. We can also do pre-approvals, usually within 2 hours. What’s the process when a customer is ready to apply? Pretty straight-forward again. Either in person or online, we ask a few questions, we may require a few documents such as pay slips and approval is given within 24 hours. Do you have any general advice for someone looking for vehicle finance? Do a bit of research if you’re looking at finance, the first or easiest deal is not always the best. Getting the right deal could save the buyer a lot of money.

Jake Elley, Assistant Sales Manager at West Orange Motors TOYOTA likes the Rav4 GXL Turbo Diesel
Michael Tandang, Fleet Sales Specialist at West Orange Motors TOYOTA likes the 86 GTS Coupe
The Rav4 is great family vehicle. The option of diesel makes it economical on long trips. It is high on safety and running costs are low. With capped price servicing set to $180, it is hard to go past a Rav4. The Rav4 is best suited for young families or singles who want that extra ride height of an SUV without having to drive a tank. It’s also perfect for towing a trailer. Customers who buy a Rav4 love it! The safety, resale value and reliability are among the many attributes and features that make the Rav4 so appealing. Come in and take it for a test drive, but be prepared to fall in love with it.
The 86 GTS Coupe is a perfect blend of styling and performance that you can drive every day. It’s a car that is sure to put a smile on your dial. With go-kart like handling and head turning looks, this is one car you’ll look forward to taking out of the garage! Customers love this car because it offers safety, resale and reliability which appears to be high on the priority list for most buyers. The 86 is a perfect for anyone who enjoys driving for the sake of pleasure.

1. Choosing the vehicle Buy the car that best suits your needs and your budget. Always research the market first so that you know what to expect in terms of value for money. 2. Get the right finance Shop around for competitive finance before going car shopping. Never accept a loan or finance agreement just because it’s quick, easy or convenient. The interest rate may be much higher than what you could get from other providers. Where possible you should consider obtaining finance before hand or be aware of rates of finance available before you visit a dealership. 3. Protect yourself It is risky to buy from an unlicensed dealer or a private seller. They are unregulated and there is little legal protection in the event of a problem. Licensed dealers must offer a cooling-off period and Statutory Warranty on most used vehicles they sell. Always make sure the vehicle actually exists, is available and meets your expectations. 4. Make safety a priority Choose a car with a high ANCAP or Used Car Safety Rating and comprehensive safety features. 5. Get an independent inspection Always have a used car inspected by a qualified mechanic before you buy it. A safety certificate or Statutory Warranty isn’t a substitute for a vehicle inspection. Make an independent inspection part of the contract and make sure the wording allows you the right not to purchase if the inspection is unsatisfactory. Most importantly don’t accept the car unless you are satisfied
with its condition. 6. Put things in writing Ignore any promise, warranty or guarantee that isn’t in writing as it is difficult to enforce. 7. Conduct background checks If buying privately, check the Personal Property Security Register online to determine if there is any money owing on the vehicle or if it is listed as stolen or written off. The search certificate will also provide information about the vehicle’s features that should be confirmed to ensure it’s the correct vehicle. If there is money owing on the vehicle, don’t buy it if there is any doubt it won’t be paid as you will not get clear title to the vehicle and it could be repossessed. 8. Check your contract Never sign an incomplete contract. Always read and be sure you understand it before signing. Also be sure it is the car you want, can afford and that it is in a condition you will accept. With new vehicles, specify the car’s colour and delivery date on the contract. If a dealer does not deliver as agreed, depending on the terms of sale the contract may be terminated and deposit money refunded, particularly if the deficiency cannot be appropriately remedied by the dealer. If the dealer’s standard contract does not make provision for your specific requirements then you may need to insist on certain wording being inserted into the contract to protect your interests. 9. Important documents Always get a copy of any contract, warranty documents and for used vehicles, the safety certificate. Remember to check the safety certificate is current, has sufficient remaining life to complete the registration transfer and all vehicle details are correct 10. Insure your car before you drive away Compulsory Third Party insurance (CTP) is part of your car’s registration, but you’ll need more protection. CTP insurance only covers personal injuries sustained by passengers in your vehicle, not at fault drivers and other users. CTP Insurance does not cover damage caused to or by your vehicle. You should have Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Insurance or Third Party Property insurance as well.
