What Is It?

Luxury vehicle finance is a specialist loan solution designed for purchasing high-value prestige, exotic, classic, or performance vehicles in New Zealand.

Unlike a standard car loan, luxury vehicle finance is structured to support higher loan amounts, flexible repayment terms, and vehicles that may retain or increase in value over time.

Whether you’re purchasing a Porsche 911, Range Rover Sport, McLaren, or pre-owned Ferrari, Rostron Finance works with lenders who understand the prestige vehicle market and can align finance terms with the vehicle’s true value.

Prestige Vehicle Finance Highlights

  • ✅ Finance new, used, and privately imported prestige vehicles
  • ✅ Loan amounts from $20,000 to $900,000+
  • ✅ Competitive rates from 7.45% p.a. — secured & unsecured options
  • ✅ Balloon payment options to reduce monthly repayments
  • ✅ Instant pre-approval — no impact on your credit score
  • ✅ Dedicated adviser, discreet and confidential process

Which Loan Type is Right for You?

Luxury vehicle finance comes in a few different structures. Your Rostron broker will help you choose the one that best fits your financial situation and how you plan to use the vehicle.

Secured Car Loan
The vehicle is used as security for the loan. Because the lender holds an asset against the debt, interest rates are typically lower. This is the most popular structure for prestige car purchases and works for both new and used vehicles.

🠪 Best for: most buyers who want the lowest rate

Unsecured Personal Loan
No vehicle security required. Rates are generally higher than secured loans, but you own the car outright from day one. Better suited to older prestige vehicles or private-sale purchases where a secured loan may not be available.

🠪 Best for: older vehicles or full ownership from day one

Business or Commercial Loan
If you're purchasing a luxury vehicle for business use, there may be GST and tax implications worth structuring correctly from the start. Rostron Finance can connect you with lenders who specialise in commercial vehicle finance for company vehicles and fleet additions.

🠪 Best for: business owners, company vehicles, sole traders

Not Sure If Your Vehicle Qualifies?

If your vehicle doesn't fit a standard category, we have access to specialist lenders who assess on a case-by-case basis. No vehicle is too unique.

Our experience with ROSTRON has been incredible!

This is the first time I have used any external finance broker for any sort of loan. I was always skeptical of using external companies and always preferred to deal directly with banks. But I can definitely say Rostron Finance...

Massive thank you to Alexander! The customer service through the entire process of buying a new car has been incredible. Alexander was open, honest and so helpful, you felt like he was going above and beyond to help you. You didn’t feel like just another sale, like how some dealerships make you feel. Honestly ask for Alexander to help you with your finance!

A Five-Star Experience with Rostron's Professional Team!

I had a fantastic experience with Hamish in sorting out my loan for my car. Every question I could think of had an answer, if I had an alternate suggestion, he would hear me out and we would work from there.

Legitimately, I can't sing his praises high enough, and by extension, the company as well.

Exceptional Solutions at Rostron Finance!

I found Rostron Finance via a random google search and it had me intrigued as to why so many great customer experiences (especially with a person named Harrison). Funnily enough, my contact WAS Harrison and from my first contact with him it gave me insight as to why all the brilliant reviews.  I can easily say that Harrison's service, attitude, knowledge, expertise and genuine time is first class. Although we didn't get the result we wanted, Harrison went above and beyond. It made the whole experience just that better.

Thank you Harrison, you are a gem!

Common FAQ

Yes. Rostron Finance can help you finance both new and used luxury vehicles, including second-hand purchases from specialist dealers or private sellers. Lender criteria for used prestige vehicles will depend on the vehicle's age, condition, and odometer reading. Newer used vehicles with lower kilometres are generally easier to finance at competitive rates.

Rostron Finance's lender panel can accommodate high-value loan amounts suited to prestige vehicle purchases. The maximum you can borrow depends on your income, credit profile, existing financial commitments, and the value of the vehicle. There is no fixed cap. Your Rostron broker can assess your borrowing capacity before you start shopping.

A deposit is not always required, though having one often improves your chances of approval and the rate you're offered. A larger deposit reduces the loan-to-value ratio, which lowers the lender's risk and typically results in a more competitive interest rate.

Yes. Rostron Finance can help structure a commercial vehicle loan for business owners, company directors, sole traders, and fleet managers looking to add a prestige vehicle. There may be GST and tax advantages to purchasing through a business entity. Your accountant can advise on the best structure before you apply.

No. Rostron Finance offers instant pre-approval with no impact on your credit score. A hard credit enquiry only occurs when you formally apply to a specific lender, which happens after you have reviewed and accepted the proposed loan terms.

Yes. If you're currently financing a prestige vehicle through a dealership or another lender, Rostron Finance can compare your current rate against what's available in the market today. If a better deal exists, we'll help you refinance and potentially reduce your weekly repayments or total interest cost.

Pre-approval through Rostron's matching engine takes approximately 60 seconds with no credit impact. Full loan approval and settlement for a luxury vehicle typically takes one to three business days once you've submitted your formal application.
