A local Sydney broker with a national lender panel. We compare new, used and bad credit car finance across banks, credit unions and specialist lenders to find your best rate. Local office, fast approvals, no upfront broker fee.
Sydney is Australia's largest car market — and its most competitive. With hundreds of dealers across Parramatta, Liverpool, Homebush, Artarmon, and beyond, plus a thriving private sale market, Sydney buyers have more vehicle choices than anywhere else in the country. The finance should be just as competitive.
Novara Finance is a local broker with a national lender panel. We compare car loan options across banks, credit unions, non-bank lenders, and specialist financiers to find you the best rate for your profile — whether you're buying new from a dealer in Homebush or used from a private seller in the Hills District.
From first-time buyers in Parramatta to self-employed tradies in Bankstown, we match every profile to the lender most likely to approve at the best rate.

No. Most applications are handled over the phone and email. Our Sydney office is available by appointment if you prefer a face-to-face meeting — particularly useful for first-time buyers or complex situations.
Yes. A bank decline doesn't close the door — different lenders have different credit policies. We access specialist lenders who assess applications differently from major banks. See why a broker finds options a bank can't.
We're independent — we work for you, not any dealer. You buy the car from whoever you choose (dealer or private seller, anywhere in Sydney or NSW), and we arrange the finance separately. This keeps the car price and the finance as two separate negotiations. See dealer finance vs broker.
For straightforward applications, approvals typically come through within 24–48 hours. Low-doc and credit-impaired applications usually take 2–5 business days.
