Ah, car finance rates—the financial equivalent of a root canal but with more paperwork. In Australia, typical car loan interest rates currently range from about 5% to 10% per annum, depending on your credit score, loan term, and whether you're buying new or used. New car loans often attract better rates due to manufacturer incentives, sometimes dipping as low as 3.5%. Used car loans, meanwhile, are usually a bit pricier, creeping toward 7-10%. Remember, loan terms usually run from 1 to 7 years, and shorter terms save you money on interest but jack up your monthly repayments.
