Buyers planning to place their RV order at the Canberra Caravan Show in October, can apply for pre-purchase finance ahead of the event with Jade Caravan Finance. Approaching the process of ordering a RV from the finance first angle rather than the purchase first, can present many advantages to buyers. These benefits may be even more significant when ordering at a very busy RV lifestyle expo such as the event in Canberra.
The Canberra Caravan Lifestyle Expo is one of the last shows for the year, with the Bendigo Leisurefest in November the final major event on the calendar. If you’re interested in getting a RV for the summer holiday season, then this event could be your ideal opportunity to see many models on display in the one place at the same time and place your order.
Finance Options for Canberra Caravan Show Buyers
The same types of loans apply for finance applied for before and after the RV is ordered or purchased. The same credit products can be used to finance all types of RVs – traditional caravans, camper trailers, campervans, hybrids, mobile homes, toy haulers, from both Australian and overseas manufacturers.
When ordering a recreational vehicle at an expo, the vehicle will be new rather than used. The most widely used credit product for new RVs is a Secured Caravan Loan. This provides buyers with a simple format and streamlined facility for financing their vehicle.
New RVs are typically accepted as the collateral for the loan. The lender registers their interest in the vehicle with the PPSR and releases the interest when the loan is finalised. As the vehicle is the security for the loan, the vehicle must be fully insured for the full finance term. Depending on individual buyer profiles, most won’t be required to put up additional assets as loan security.
The interest rates on our secured loans are fixed and won’t change over the full term of the loan, regardless of RBA rate decisions and fluctuations in the lender’s rates. Terms are fixed and negotiated by our brokers to best meet individual buyer requirements. With fixed rates and a fixed term, the monthly repayments are also fixed. Providing caravanners with peace of mind that they can enjoy many years of holiday and travel in their RV without worrying that their loan commitments will change.
The full purchase price of the RV plus accessories and extras ordered with the vehicle, may be covered with the finance, subject to individual applications.
When applying for finance before an order has been placed, buyers won’t know the purchase price and hence the loan required. Many may not have made a final decision on which model to order. To complete a pre-purchase loan application, buyers can estimate their loan requirements. This figure can allow lenders to provide conditional approval of the application.
Conditional approval is approval of the application for a set loan limit or borrowing capacity. The specifics of the loan such as the exact amount, will need to be finalised after the order is placed and the specific figures are known.
Pre-purchase loan approvals are valid for a set time after which they expire if not used. There is no obligation on the part of the buyer to proceed with the loan if they change their mind and don’t proceed to order. To work out loan estimates ahead of the upcoming expo, use our Finance Calculator.
Advantages of Finance Approval Before Canberra Caravan Show
The benefits of securing finance approval before an expo include the confidence to order. Buyers can narrow down their inspections on the day to only those models with price tags within their approved loan limits.
Buyers can specify the extras and options to not only suit their lifestyle, but also their loan limits. Having finance secured can also allow buyers to capitalise on any discounts available as show day specials or commit to limited edition and one-off models which are often displayed at these events.
