Who qualifies for this offer?

Clients purchasing a Category A vehicle using bank finance arranged by WeBuyCars between now and the end of the year.

When will I pay my first instalment?

Your first repayment will be due on your first salary date in the new year, so you can enjoy your new vehicle over the holidays without immediate financial commitments.

How does this benefit me?

This initiative provides you the flexibility to drive your new car now and manage your finances better by deferring the initial payment until after the holidays.

 What must I do?

Once your finance application has been pre-approved and our Finance & Insurance representative has contacted you, please inform them that you would like to take up this deferred payment option. They will be able to inform you if you qualify, based on the specific bank’s credit and risk assessment.

Are there terms and conditions that apply?

Yes, there are terms and conditions that apply. This offer applies to Category A vehicles only since Category B vehicles cannot be financed but it applies to any Category A vehicle at any WeBuyCars branch nationally.
This offer only applies to permanently employed, fixed salary earners. The payment holiday is subject to finance house approval and client risk profile.
