EOFY caravan sales can present attractive price reductions on many models, but buyers may need to be ready with finance to secure limited stock models. Mid-year deals are currently being advertised by several big names including JB and Apollo, with great reductions on new, pre-owned and rental RVs.
Saving on the purchase price by buying at sale time can be significant. But when the discounted vehicle is purchased with finance, that cost also needs to be accounted in the total outlay. Pay too much for your finance and at least part of the discount on the RV may be eroded.
While RV loans don’t go ‘on sale’, but there are ways that buyers can maximise their opportunities to minimise their loan commitments. We’ve found some sale events to get you started on finding your preferred vehicle and we share our expert tips for how RV buyers can capture their most affordable finance deal.
JB EOFY Caravan Sales
JB Caravans is one of the big names in the industry and their mid-year sale is also big. One of the deals on offer is for the Marco Polo Horizon campervan. This model is well-equipped for campers with plenty of gear included. The price we’ve spied includes a $40k reduction to around $120K, plus the usual on-road costs.
Another model being discounted is a pop-top with a roof bed but minus JB’s rear placed kitchen and some other inclusions. But the price could make this one a ‘must check-out’ with $50k cut from the pricing down to $99,990 plus the usual on-road costs.
Demonstrator models can offer great value and are regularly discounted in sale events by dealers and manufacturers. JB has one from their off-road collection in the sale – a 17’ Gator for only just under $85K driveaway. That’s $20k below the usual retail price.
The JB Group has a number of brands including the very popular New Age Caravans. The brand is offering a sale event with some of their dealers. Buyers may need to check-in with dealers in their area or online to see which models are on clearance as they will vary with availability with individual leaders. To whet your appetite to start looking - a Big Red 2024 model with a $18k price cut and a Road Owl 21’ with space for the family with a $6k price cut.
While browsing vehicles on sale, use our Caravan Finance Calculator to estimate your loan. Many of the discounts are on floor stock and will be ready to go. Making it easier for buyers to get a good idea of the exact price, compared with buying a vehicle which is built to order.
Apollo EOFY Caravan Sales
Apollo RV is another big name in the caravan industry which is currently running a mid-year sale event. The sale includes selected vehicles covering new, refurbished and pre-owned specific caravans and RVs. Vehicles covered in the sale are drawn from many of Apollo’s brands including Adria, Coromal, Winnebago, Windsor and others. Up to $20k can be saved with some of these deals.
As with many sale events, the discounts apply to specific vehicles not across entire ranges. Opportunities will be limited to only those vehicles. Meaning, limited quantities. Start looking and start thinking finance to ensure you are the buyer that captures the best deal on your preferred vehicle.
Be Finance-Ready for EOFY Caravan Sales
Limited vehicles, limited timeframe - sale time is no time to be unprepared to commit to a purchase. Be finance-ready by applying for your Caravan Loan before you head to the dealer to inspect your choice of vehicles. Applying for a loan before the RV is chosen or a commitment made is a straightforward process. The same application requirements apply and the same interest rate is offered, regardless of if the application is processed pre or post-purchase.
To apply for consumer credit, applicants will need to provide a range of details and documents to verify their financial position. These can include income payslips, bank statements, tax return, details of other debts including credit cards, and provide details to confirm residency and residential address. Lenders will be checking credit ratings as a key part of the application process.
Buyers that have not definitely earmarked the vehicle they want to buy and subsequently do not have an exact loan figure, can estimate their requirements for the pre-approved loan. We process applications and seek conditional approval. The exact details, including the loan amount, are finalised post-purchase.
Getting the Best Loan for EOFY Caravan Sales Purchases
To maximise the value of a discounted RV purchase, buyers can prioritise getting the cheapest loan which starts with getting the lowest interest rates. Lender rate offers are very much dependent on the credit rating and the strength of the financials. Consider paying off other debts to improve your personal balance sheet.
Another tip for potentially being offered a better rate and better loan is to pay a deposit rather than apply for no deposit financing. How much the loan relative to the value or price of the vehicle can impact the lender’s risk assessment and the rate offer.
Utilise our broker services to ensure you secure your best rate from our large lender selection. Compared with dealer finance our rates can be highly competitive as we offer choice rather than just the one lender offered by manufacturer and dealer finance.
