Every car dealer knows the feeling. A buyer loves the car, the price works, and then they say the words that stall the whole deal: "I just need to sort out finance and I will come back." Some do. Plenty do not.

Offering finance on the spot keeps the buyer in the seat and turns "I will think about it" into a signed order.

Why sending buyers to their bank costs you sales

When a customer leaves to arrange their own finance, you hand the deal to their bank, their partner's opinion, and every other car yard they drive past on the way home. The longer finance takes, the colder the sale gets. On a big purchase like a car, the finance step is where a surprising number of deals quietly die.

How on-the-spot finance changes the conversation

With a finance partnership, the buyer applies in a few minutes on your own finance link while they are still with you. Loanseekers specialists compare their options across 70+ lenders and come back with what they qualify for, so the customer can commit today instead of drifting off to shop around.

  • The buyer gets matched across 70+ lenders, not squeezed into one bank's box.
  • An enquiry does not affect their credit score.
  • Our team manages the application through to settlement, so your salespeople stay focused on selling cars.

You do not become a finance broker

This is the part dealers like most. You are not giving credit advice, quoting rates, or taking on compliance. You refer the customer, and the regulated credit work is handled for you through the Ausloans network. You do not need your own Australian Credit Licence.

It works for any size yard

Whether you move a handful of cars a month or run a multi-site group, the program is free to join with no lock-in. New and used, private and ABN buyers, it all runs through the same simple pathway.

The maths is simple

If offering finance helps you convert even a few extra buyers a month who would otherwise have walked, the program has paid for itself many times over, because it costs you nothing to run.
