Fixed Rate Consumer Loan
This is the typical loan to help you get the keys to your dream Subaru - available for new and used cars if the vehicle is for personal use. The maximum allowable age of a used vehicle at the end of the loan is up to 12 years depending on your eligibility criteria.
Eligible customers can also opt for a balloon payment at the end of their loan.
Repayments and interest rates are fixed, providing certainty over the course of your loan. Repayments can be made in fortnightly or monthly instalments, giving you the flexibility to manage your payment schedule.
Fixed Rate Chattel Mortgage
Chattel mortgages are your bread-and-butter business loans available to ABN holders, provided the vehicle is to be used predominantly for business purposes.
Like a Consumer Loan, eligible customers can opt for a balloon payment at the end of their loan.
Repayments and interest rates are fixed, providing certainty over the course of your loan. Repayments can be made in monthly instalments.
Guaranteed Future Value
Available to eligible customers, Subaru Guaranteed Future Value2 gives you the peace of mind of securing a pre-determined trade in value at the end of your loan term (provided it meets fair wear and tear conditions and the agreed upon kilometres).
A loan with a Guaranteed Future Value may give you lower repayments and gives you multiple options at the end of the loan term; to upgrade your Subaru, retain your Subaru or return your Subaru.

Finance FAQs
- How do car loans work?
Under a car loan, you borrow money to purchase your new car and then pay it off in monthly instalments. Interest is charged on the money you borrowed, along with associated loan processing fees. This is typically incorporated into the monthly repayment figure you pay back. This loan is paid back over a given timeframe, which can be flexible to your circumstances. You will need to apply for a loan to determine your eligibility.
- Why should I finance a Subaru instead of buying with cash?
Each method has both pros and cons and you might want to engage your financial adviser to help you make that decision. For most people, the main benefit of a car loan, over other forms of payment, is that it allows you to have access to your brand new Subaru today, rather than having to wait to save up for the full purchase price.
- Why should I finance through Subaru instead of my bank?
Subaru offers a convenient one-stop-shop to organise both your finance and the purchase your vehicle, potentially saving you time over organising money through a bank. You also know that Subaru is a brand you can trust and the option of a Guaranteed Future Value2, which banks do not offer, can also be an attractive benefit.
- What is a balloon payment on a car loan?
A balloon payment is a lump sum of money at the end of your loan term, that you need to repay to fully pay off your loan and own your vehicle outright. The size of your balloon will impact the amount of your monthly repayments ie generally speaking, the larger the balloon amount, the lower the monthly repayment amount.
- What is a secured car loan?
There is a risk associated with every loan application. This is due to the loan having to be paid over a period which puts the repayments at risk. One way financiers reduce this risk is through securing the car against the loan. In order to do this the financier will register a security interest against the car on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). If you fail to meet repayments, the vehicle may be recovered and sold to cover the cost of the loan and associated recovery fees. Almost all car loans will be secured against the car.
- How long does it take to get vehicle finance?
Depending on the application, it can take as little as a couple of hours to secure your approval – if you have a good credit history, can provide proof of your income, assets and liabilities and other identification verification upfront.
- What is a Chattel mortgage and am I eligible for one?
A Chattel mortgage is a popular car loan for businesses, because the business is the owner of the vehicle instead of the individual. You will need to provide the business’ ABN and confirm that you intend to use the car primarily for business purposes. If you meet these criteria, talk with our friendly team at a participating Subaru Financial Services Retailer to understand how best to structure this loan for your needs.
- What documents do I need to apply for finance?
For a quick, hassle-free car loan application you’ll need to provide documents that prove you’re a reliable borrower. Documents such as –
- Personal information and identification
- Proof of income
- Proof of assets and liabilities
- Information about your car and insurance
- How much can I borrow for a car loan?
The amount you can borrow will entirely depend on your personal circumstances. It’s best to talk with one of our team at a participating Subaru Financial Services dealership to help understand how much you can borrow.
- What will my repayment be?
Assuming you are eligible for a car loan, the amount of your repayments will be determined by a number of factors including your credit history. The car loan calculator on our website can give you a quick estimate of what your potential repayments might be, but this may differ to your personal rate so it is best to talk to the Business Manager at your Subaru Retailer.

- The Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum future value of your vehicle as determined by Subaru Financial Services (SFS) and set out in your contract. At the end of the term, you can select from three options: (1) sell or trade-in the vehicle and repay your loan balance; (2) return the vehicle to us; or (3) retain the vehicle by paying the GFV amount, which is a lump sum amount owed to us at the end of the loan term.

Monthly repayments will be lower compared to a similar loan term with no GFV or equivalent balloon final payment. Available on new and demonstrator Subaru vehicles for selected models only.
