Buying a car, motorbike, or boat

A First Home Buyer

Whether you need a vehicle for work or leisure, it's important to pick a loan that’s right for you.

You have a choice of a secured or an unsecured personal loan, different terms and a choice of a fixed or a variable interest rate. If you would like a lower interest rate, then a secured personal loan is the option for you. By using your car as security, you have the advantage of a lower rate to borrow for a car, motorcycle or boat.

In the case of a Bank of Melbourne Secured Personal Loan, any car1 offered as security must be no more than 12 years old at the point when the loan expires. An unsecured personal loan is suitable for those looking at purchasing a vintage or imported vehicle.

If your employer offers salary packaging you can also consider a novated lease. Bank of Melbourne also offers a range of car finance options if you use your car for business purposes.
