CHERY Vehicle Finance FAQs

Looking for more questions about Finance. Feel free to contact us for all your financing questions or to help you apply

What are my vehicle financing options?

What is the minimum income for car finance?

The minimum income for car finance in South Africa varies depending on the lender. However, most lenders will require a minimum monthly income of R6,500. Some lenders may require a higher income, depending on the type of car you are financing and the amount of money you are borrowing.

In addition to meeting the minimum income requirement, you will also need to have a good credit score in order to qualify for car finance. A good credit score shows lenders that you are a responsible borrower and that you are likely to repay your loan on time.

If you do not meet the minimum income requirement or you have a poor credit score, you may still be able to qualify for car finance. However, you may need to pay a higher interest rate or you may need to put down a larger deposit.

What is the interest rate for car finance?

The interest rate for car finance in South Africa varies depending on the lender, the type of car you are financing, and your credit score. However, most lenders charge an interest rate of between 9% and 15%.

Some lenders may offer lower interest rates to borrowers with good credit scores or borrowers who are financing a new car. Other lenders may offer higher interest rates to borrowers with poor credit scores or borrowers who are financing a used car.

You can use a car finance calculator to estimate how much your monthly repayments will be, based on the interest rate and the amount of money you are borrowing.

What is the repayment period for car finance?

The repayment period for car finance in South Africa typically ranges from 12 to 72 months. However, some lenders may offer longer or shorter repayment terms, depending on your individual circumstances.

It is important to choose a repayment period that is affordable for you. A shorter repayment period will mean higher monthly repayments, but you will pay less interest overall. A longer repayment period will mean lower monthly repayments, but you will pay more interest overall.

What is the deposit required for car finance?

The deposit required for car finance in South Africa varies depending on the lender, the type of car you are financing, and your credit score. However, most lenders will require a deposit of between 10% and 20%.

Some lenders may require a higher deposit, depending on the type of car you are financing or if you have a poor credit score. Other lenders may offer lower deposit requirements for borrowers with good credit scores or borrowers who are financing a new car.

A larger deposit will reduce your monthly repayments and make you more attractive to lenders. It is also a good idea to have a larger deposit saved up so that you can afford to buy a more expensive car or buy a car with more features.

If you do not have enough money saved up for a deposit, you may be able to get a loan to finance your deposit. However, you should be aware that this will increase the overall cost of your car loan.

What is the balloon payment for car finance?

A balloon payment is a large, lump-sum payment that is made at the end of a car finance term. It is typically equal to a percentage of the original purchase price of the car, and it can range from 20% to 50%.

Balloon payments are often used to make monthly repayments more affordable. However, it is important to remember that you will still need to pay the balloon payment at the end of the term. If you are unable to pay the balloon payment, you may need to refinance the loan or trade in your car.
