check if finance on car

Trying to find out if a car is still under finance? In Australia, this usually means there's a loan or lease tied to the vehicle, which can be a nasty surprise if you’re not careful. The easiest way is to request a PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) check—it tells you if any finance or security interests are registered against the vehicle. Services like CarShowroom or Tradingpost often recommend getting this done before buying. Remember, if the finance isn't cleared, the lender can repossess the car, no questions asked.
