At first hand, it may appear that your only option is to buy a used car with cash. Setting up a new life in a new country is difficult enough. Without transport, it becomes even harder. However, there's no reason you shouldn't plan ahead and work your way towards purchasing a new car, ute or truck.
Step One, you will need to establish a credit history in Australia. Australian finance companies can then see immediately that you are a low risk customer. Establish your personal credit record. Under the credit reporting system, credit bureaus are obliged to register all your positive credit behaviour, as well as the negative.
As a new immigrant, you should not have a negative record, so you only need build up the positive side. It may take a little time. However, its worthwhile. It will make establishing your new life a lot easier.
Here's how you can get started;
If you're unable to wait, there are still options open to you;
If you wait until you have a credit record, you'll generally get a better finance deal.
If you want immediate finance, you'll pay slightly higher interest and you may have fewer choices.
