Before choosing a Plenti loan
The loan type, the car and the seller all affect what happens next. These are the practical details to check alongside your personalised quote.
Car and personal loans have different entry criteria
Plenti's car-loan criteria include being at least 21, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, earning more than $32,000 a year after tax from verifiable regular income, and having a good credit history. Its personal-loan page lists a minimum age of 18 and annual income above $25,000. Meeting entry criteria does not establish that a loan will be approved.
Prepare evidence of income, including self-employment
For a personal loan, Plenti lists an Australian driver's licence or passport and income evidence such as bank statements. Self-employed applicants may need tax returns. Its personal-loan application has separate estimate, application and funding stages: a rate estimate is not a completed assessment or money ready to spend.
Private sales and refinancing need different paperwork
Plenti lists a sales invoice and comprehensive insurance for a dealer purchase. For a private sale, it also lists a private-sale invoice and a third-party self-administered inspection report. Refinancing requires a future-dated payout letter and comprehensive insurance. Confirm the documents and settlement timing before agreeing a collection date with the seller.
Understand what securing the car means
A Plenti secured car loan uses the vehicle as security. Its application checklist includes your driver's licence, insurance details and vehicle invoice. If repayments are not met, the lender may repossess and sell the vehicle. Ask which vehicle and loan-term restrictions apply to the exact car you want, especially when buying used.
Questions to bring to your finance comparison
- Is this quote for a secured car loan or a personal loan, and what conditions still need to be met?
- What is the total amount repayable for the same loan amount and term, including fees?
- What documents must the seller and I provide before funds can be released?
