About Secured Car Finance
At Stratton Finance, we specialise in connecting you with secured car finance solutions that use your vehicle as collateral. This may provide you with better financing terms, including lower interest rates, higher borrowing limits, and flexible repayment options, potentially reducing your overall repayment amount in the long term.

Our brokers recognise that every customer has unique requirements, which is why we review our panel of over ${total-lenders} lenders to provide you with a variety of finance options tailored to your budget and circumstances. With a secured car loan, lenders have the assurance of an asset backing the loan, which means you could benefit from lower interest rates and flexible repayment terms—potentially leading to lower repayment amounts compared to an unsecured loan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Secured Car Finance
The amount of car finance you can borrow depends on several factors, including your income, credit history, existing debts, and the vehicle’s value. Lenders assess your repayment ability by reviewing your finances and setting limits based on a percentage of the car’s value. Use our serviceability calculator to estimate borrowing potential or visit our quote tool for a range of rates and repayments. To speak with an Australian-based broker, request a callback or call 1300 787 288.
If you can’t repay your secured car loan, the lender has the right to repossess the vehicle to recover the outstanding balance. It's important to communicate with your lender if you're facing financial difficulties, as they may offer alternative solutions to help you avoid repossession.
Yes, you can refinance your secured car loan to take advantage of lower interest rates or better terms. This process involves obtaining a new loan to pay off the existing one, potentially leading to lower monthly payments or a shorter loan term. However, it's crucial to consider any associated fees and ensure that refinancing aligns with your financial goals.
