Luxury & Exotic Car Finance for Business Owners
Much of the luxury vehicle finance we arrange is for company directors, business owners and self-employed professionals acquiring a prestige or exotic vehicle through their business. Where the vehicle is used for business purposes, a chattel mortgage can be a tax-effective structure: your business takes ownership from day one, the lender holds a security interest, and you may be able to claim GST and depreciation (subject to the ATO car limit and your accountant’s advice).
Because exotic and limited-production vehicles fall outside standard bank lending criteria, exotic car loans are typically written by specialist financiers who understand collector values, agreed-value insurance and private-sale settlement. We help match your purchase to the right lender, whether you need a straightforward prestige vehicle loan or a structured facility with a balloon or residual to manage cash flow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Luxury Car Finance
What is luxury vehicle finance? Luxury vehicle finance is specialist lending for high-value prestige, exotic and performance cars that fall outside standard car-loan criteria. It covers tailored loan amounts, longer terms, balloon or residual structures, and agreed-value arrangements suited to vehicles that hold or appreciate in value. Both consumer car loans and business chattel mortgage structures can be used, depending on how the vehicle is owned and used.
Can I get an exotic car loan for a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren? Yes. Exotic car loans for marques such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bentley and Rolls-Royce are written by specialist lenders who understand supercar values, limited-production models and private-sale purchases. These loans often involve higher deposits and individual assessment, and we connect you with financiers experienced in this segment.
Why should I finance a luxury car instead of buying outright? Financing preserves your capital for other investments or business opportunities. Money working in investments or business may earn higher returns than the cost of finance. Additionally, for business use, finance structures like chattel mortgages offer tax benefits. Many wealth managers recommend leveraging assets rather than tying up capital.
Can I finance a luxury car from a private seller or collector? Yes. We specialize in private sale transactions for prestige vehicles. Your broker coordinates pre-purchase inspections, verifies ownership, conducts PPSR checks, and manages secure fund transfers to protect both parties. Many of the best exotic and classic cars are sold privately.
What deposit is required for luxury car finance? Typically 20-30% deposit for most prestige vehicles, though this varies based on the vehicle’s value, depreciation profile, and market demand. Limited production vehicles or appreciating classics may require less. Ultra-exotic vehicles may require larger deposits.
How do balloon payments work for luxury vehicles? A balloon payment is a predetermined lump sum due at the end of your loan term, which reduces your monthly repayments. For prestige vehicles, balloons are typically set at projected residual values (30-50% of original value). At term end, you can pay the balloon, refinance it, trade-in, or sell the vehicle.
Can I finance classic or vintage luxury cars? Yes. We work with lenders who understand collector vehicles and appreciate their value. Classic car finance typically requires specialist valuations, agreed value insurance, and may have different terms than modern vehicles. Some lenders specialize exclusively in classic and collectible vehicles.
What’s the maximum loan amount for luxury car finance? Our specialist lenders regularly approve financing from $100,000 to $1,000,000+ for prestige vehicles. The maximum amount depends on your income, assets, credit profile, and the vehicle itself. Some lenders have no upper limit for qualified borrowers purchasing from reputable sources.
