UTE

After you’ve got approved for your car loan, your sales consultant will help you find the right car for your needs and budget. UTE’s are definitely the preferred choice of vehicle for most Kiwis. The reason for that is, they are durable and versatile. Although they are built for heavy loads and rough terrains, a UTE is also great cars for heading into the city. They come in different models and versions, each for a specific purpose and a different price class.

Let your sales consultant for what purpose you will need your UTE. In case it is for farm work, which will involve a lot of off road driving, you definitely want a 4WD. However keep in mind due to their way of construction even most 2WD UTEs can cope with rough terrain as well.

Another factor which will determine which UTE is the best for you, is the price range. Therefore it is important to get pre-approved for your car loan before looking for a specific car. With the pre-approval your sales consultant will also get to know the maximum amount the lenders are willing to lend you.
