Can I Finance an Older Vehicle?

Financing an older vehicle: the age rules, rates and lender options.

Low doc (no financials) up to $500k Funding from $20k–$10M+ 80+ lenders compared No long forms or paperwork

Yes, you can finance an older vehicle — it just comes down to the vehicle’s age at the end of the loan and which lender you use.

The age-at-end-of-term rule

Lenders cap how old a vehicle can be when the loan finishes — commonly around 12–15 years for many vehicles, and older for heavy prime movers. So an older vehicle often works on a shorter term, or with a deposit to offset the risk.

Rates on older vehicles

Expect a slightly higher rate than a late-model vehicle, but older vehicles are very financeable, especially through specialist and non-bank lenders who are more flexible than the big banks on age and kilometres.
