Yes, if ASB approves your loan application, you can buy a car with a minimum of $2,000. If you want a secured car loan, the value of the car will have to be $20,000 and should not be registered to or financed by other lenders.
You can pay the seller directly through electronic transfer or bank cheque if your car loan is unsecured. If it’s a secured loan, ASB will make a bank cheque for you that contains the seller’s name and the purchase price.
If you don’t have an existing ASB account, you’ll need to provide at least 1 photo ID, and proof of your address, such as a bill that contains your name with the current address. Examples of primary IDs are: passport, New Zealand firearms license, New Zealand driver license, birth certificate, or citizenship certificate.
