Car loan / lease on 482 TSS
Hi I will be moving to Melbourne under TSS 482 visa. It's a medium-term 4-year visa.
Based on what I've read, there is no Australian equivalent of the PCH (lease) in the UK, is that right?
If I have to go loan, can anyone share experience of a lender that can help with a car loan for my visa with zero Australian credit history? I will be on a good salary if that helps.
How many months do I need to be working before I qualify?
Would financial products direct from a manufacturer (such as Toyota Access or Nissan Future Value) allow TSS 482 applicants?
Many thanks.

Yes, you should be able to get credit for a car, though you will probably need to wait for several months. The terms will normally limit the repayment period to several months before your visa expires.
