The new year is one of the best times to grab a new or used car bargain.
As the calendar clicked over to 2019, all cars automatically became 1 year older. This means it is time for the new and used dealerships to quickly clear out their ‘old’ stock and make way for newer models. To help sell cars, dealerships are currently very quick to offer significant discounts. They are also happy to include add-ons and accessories for free and drive-away pricing to help close the sale.
Visit any dealership website or car yard and you will immediately see advertisements promoting a bargain. All makes and models are currently on sale, with discounts and specials unheard of during other times of the year.
And the bigger the discount, the lower your repayments will be if you choose to finance your new or used vehicle. Start the New Year on a high with the best deal possible on a new or used vehicle.
2018 and older plate run out sales
Out with the old and in with the new. The first few weeks of the new year are a great time to grab a bargain on a 2018 or older plate car. Most dealerships need to clear out this ‘old’ stock to make way for 2019 plated vehicles, so run out discounts are being offered across the country.
All makes and models are usually included in dealership stock clearance specials. This includes small cars, medium cars, SUVs, utes, 4x4s and trucks. Get ahead of the pack wanting a 2019 model and get the best deal possible on your new car now. Pop into your dealership in January or February and ask to see only run-out models on sale.

It will also speed up the purchasing process for you, as you will have already begun our highly streamlined and efficient finance application process.
Dealership or private seller
The dealerships may be clearing out their stock, but don’t forget about the private sellers. They will also be keen to sell their vehicle, especially if they listed it for sale in 2018. Most likely they have now dropped the price or will be more open to dropping the price when you begin sale negotiations.
Have a look at when the car was listed for sale and use the time-frame to your advantage!
Zoom Car Loans can help you purchase privately with confidence, by offering you a warranty on your used car vehicle, along with no deposit finance options. To benefit from a used vehicle warranty, the vehicle you purchase must have a current road worthy certificate.
Small business and ABN car loans

The catch with in house dealership finance
In house new car dealership finance may seem like an easy option, but there are many hidden points to be aware of.
– Most dealerships require you to have a high credit rating, with no blemishes, to be approved for their finance.
– In house dealership finance often have access to only a couple of financiers (lenders), limiting your options and chance of getting the best deal available. They also have an alliance with these companies, resulting in hidden fees and commissions payable to the dealership when you accept their finance package.
– Loan terms and repayments are pre-defined for you, with minimal room for flexibility. This can result in a large balloon payment at the end of your loan.
– In house dealership finance consultants are often not accredited finance specialists. Essentially they are sales people, employed by the dealership to make the most money from you when you purchase a vehicle.
It may be tempting to sign up, whilst they dangle the keys to your new car in front of you, however savvy buyers should think twice and consult a broker, like Zoom Car Loans, to explore all their options.
