Same Truck, Different Interest Rate Could Save You $20K 🚚💸
How One Client Saved Big by Comparing Truck Finance Options
When it comes to financing a new truck, most business owners focus on the price of the vehicle—but the real money-saver could be in the interest rate you secure. Here’s a real-world example of how shopping around for finance made a massive difference for one of our clients.
The Situation
Our client, Dave (not his real name), needed a late-model prime mover for his growing transport business. He’d already found the perfect truck at a local dealer for $180,000. The dealership offered him finance on the spot at an interest rate of 10.5% over five years.
Dave almost signed on the dotted line—until he decided to give I WANT FINANCE a call for a second opinion.
The Comparison
- Dealer Finance Offer:
- Amount: $180,000
- Interest Rate: 10.5% p.a.
- Term: 5 years
- Monthly Repayment: ~$3,880
- Total Repayable: ~$232,800
- I WANT FINANCE Offer:
- Amount: $180,000
- Interest Rate: 7.5% p.a.
- Term: 5 years
- Monthly Repayment: ~$3,600
- Total Repayable: ~$216,000
The Result
By choosing our offer, Dave saved over $16,000 in interest across the life of the loan—without changing a thing about the truck, his business, or his plans.
And that’s just the start. For bigger fleets or longer terms, the savings can be even greater. Imagine what you could do with an extra $16,000 back in your business—more upgrades, more staff, or just peace of mind.
