Buying a car should be simple—find the right one, get finance sorted, drive away. But for a business owner with no time to shop around, dealing with lenders, dealerships, and unexpected hurdles made it anything but.

From lenders hesitant to finance the client’s industry to an interstate dealership that sold the car without number plates or NSW registration, this deal needed more than just finance. It needed someone who could navigate both lenders and dealerships seamlessly.

The Challenge

The client needed a new vehicle but hit a roadblock—many lenders weren’t willing to finance their industry, despite strong business performance.

Initially, they were just after pre-approval, but once the challenges became clear, they turned to Tony—our asset finance expert with extensive experience in luxury car dealerships. 

More Than Just Finance

With experience in both finance and car dealership operations, Tony knew how to secure the best outcome without the usual hassle.

✔️ Finding the right car: Reviewing options to suit both business and personal needs.
✔️ Handling dealer negotiations: Managing the purchase and securing the best deal.
✔️ Managing an interstate purchase: Identifying a critical issue—the car was being delivered from Victoria without plates or NSW registration, bringing additional associated costs the client hadn’t realised would come with the purchase.

Overcoming Lending Hurdles

Even after finding the right car, finance wasn’t straightforward. Some lenders initially showed interest but backed out, while others tightened lending requirements.
Tony worked through multiple options, pushed back on inconsistent policies, and structured the deal to get it over the line. Then, a final hurdle—the car was set to arrive unregistered and without number plates, making it impossible to drive around Sydney immediately.

Fortunately, Tony picked up on this early in the process and guided the client through every step to ensure everything was in place. Because of this, the car was registered and fitted with plates as soon as it arrived, avoiding unnecessary stress and delays.

The Outcome

The car arrived just in time for a major milestone—the arrival of a new family member—providing both a business asset and a much-needed SUV for personal life.

“As a fairly new business, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Tony went above and beyond at every step—explaining everything clearly, finding the best deal, and even assisting with importing the car from another state. Always available to answer questions, making the right calls, and negotiating in my best interest the whole way through.”

Why This Matters

For most brokers, the job ends at loan approval. But getting the right car—at the right price, with the right terms—takes real expertise.
