Car Loan for Information
Vehicle finance in South Africa is typically offered over 48 to 72 months. New cars attract lower interest rates (around 12-14%) compared to used vehicles (around 15.5%–17%). Most major SA banks and vehicle finance providers offer vehicle asset finance (VAF). A deposit of 10-20% can significantly reduce your monthly instalment and total interest paid. Use our calculator to compare different terms and see what car you can afford.
