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.

A R150,000 vehicle finance at 14.00% (prime + 3.5%) over 48 months costs R4,099/month, with R46,751 paid in interest at current SARB prime (10.5%).
A R150,000 vehicle finance is typically used for purchasing a new or used car, bakkie, or SUV through dealer or private financing. At current prime (10.5%), most SA lenders — including most SA banks and vehicle finance providers — offer this amount at 12.00%–17.00%, which works out to R3,950–R4,328/month over 48 months. As a rough budgeting guide, the mid-range instalment stays near 35% of take-home pay on a gross salary of about R12,758/month — this is a budgeting convention, not a lender requirement: lenders set their own criteria via a full National Credit Act affordability assessment.

This is an illustrative guide only, assuming the instalment stays near 35% of take-home pay (a common budgeting convention, not a lending rule) and based on PAYE and UIF deductions alone (it excludes pension and medical aid contributions, which would raise the gross salary needed).
