Enjoy Six Months With No Repayments*.
With Ebbett Finance, you can get an online decision in minutes* and, for a limited time only, you can defer your repayments for 6 months*. This allows you to enjoy your new vehicle without the pressure of paying back the loan immediately.
Use our finance calculator to submit a deal you’re happy with. Credit checks are carried out in the background so you receive a quick conditional decision that you are free to accept or not.
If you then want to add the 6-month deferment offer, simply speak to the dealership business manager when you are finalising the loan and ask them to include that in your repayment schedule. They can arrange all the details, and answer any questions.
Ts & Cs: *6-month deferred payment period is not interest-free. Interest will accrue on the principal amount and fees. Overall interest costs will be higher as a result when compared to a non-deferred loan. New and used vehicles qualify. A minimum 20% deposit may be required, max 60-month term, principal & interest loans only, and loans with balloons not applicable. Subject to Heartland Bank Limited’s responsible lending criteria. Terms, conditions and fees apply, including an establishment fee of up to $500 and a PPSR fee of $7.39.

Autosure Mechanical Breakdown Insurance
The last thing you should be worrying about when purchasing a new vehicle is a mechanical breakdown. Modern cars have come a long way, but with complex electrical and mechanical components breakdowns do occur.
Protect your car and your pocket with a Mechanical Breakdown Policy. It not only covers your repair bills but will also help you out with 24/7 roadside assistance, car hire to keep you mobile and any towing costs.
Further Information:
Autosure Loan Equity Insurance (“GAP” Cover)
In the event of a total loss of a vehicle that still under finance, you’re liable to pay the outstanding credit balance immediately. If the insurance payout doesn’t cover all of this, you would have to fork out for the difference yourself.
Having loan equity insurance prevents the loss of a vehicle hitting your pocket. It ensures that if your vehicle is written off you won’t have to pay any difference between the insurance payout and the balance owing on your credit contract.
Autosure Payment Protection Insurance
The main risk when buying a vehicle on finance is that if you lose your ability to earn, you won’t be able to cover your monthly installments, which means you’ll risk losing your vehicle and credit rating.
Payment protection insurance protects you from a range of unexpected losses of income so that should the unexpected happen, you’ll be covered and able to pay any finance requirements while you get back on track.
Volkswagen Motor Vehicle Cover
Volkswagen has a reputation for thinking differently — and our insurance is a little bit different too. Naturally, we’ve designed our cover with Volkswagen drivers in mind. But it’s the generous range of special features and added extras that really make us stand out from the crowd. Here are just a few;
- New for old – if your Volkswagen is less than 3 years old and is written off, you’ll get a brand new one
- All repairs are conducted using only genuine Volkswagen parts
- Choose from a list of repairers that have earned our seal of approval
- No claims bonus that’s protected for life
- Cover of additional costs and no window excess

At this stage, please indicate if you are interested in the 6-month deferred payment offer and your Business Manager will be happy to explain the offer in detail, answer any questions you may have, and explain your options fully.

Can I get a loan approval before I’ve found the car that I want?
Yes – plenty of our customers like to know how much they can borrow before they choose their new car. You apply for the loan as normal and, if approved, you’ll have pre-approval to select your new car.
Can I change the amount of my loan after it is approved?
Yes. If you want to increase the amount, it simply needs to be approved by the lenders and additional lending criteria may be required (you won’t need to fill in another loan application).

Where do I sign the finance documents?
Most of our customers find it easiest to sign the documents on site at Ebbett Volkswagen, however, we do have an option of digital/electronic signing (DocuSign) for completing finance documents (This also applies for biometric ID verification [AplyID] to satisfy AML compliance).
