4. Information we collect and refer
For a finance referral, we will generally collect and provide only:
- your name;
- your telephone number;
- a short description of the purpose for which finance may be required;
- the vehicle or approximate purchase details, where available; and

5. Your consent
We will not send your finance-referral details to Acquired Financial Services unless you consent. The website or digital assistant should ask you to actively confirm the following:
You can decline the referral. Declining does not prevent you from using the general Buy My Next Car vehicle sourcing service.
6. Commission and fees
Test Drive Group Pty Ltd may receive a commission or other referral benefit if you proceed with finance arranged by Acquired Financial Services. The amount may depend on the transaction and the arrangement between the parties.
We do not charge you a fee simply for referring your finance enquiry. Acquired Financial Services will explain any fees, charges, commissions or lender costs that it is required to disclose as part of its own finance process.
7. What happens after you consent
- We record your consent and referral details.
- We send your basic contact and enquiry information to Acquired Financial Services, ordinarily within five business days.
- Acquired Financial Services contacts you directly.
- Its licensed broker discusses your circumstances, obtains any required application information and explains available options.
- Any application is subject to verification, responsible-lending requirements where applicable, lender criteria and approval.
- You are not required to proceed merely because you agreed to be contacted.
8. General information we may provide
We may provide general factual information about the referral service, including that:
- our broker partner can discuss vehicle loans and leases;
- Acquired Financial Services states it has access to 63+ bank and non-bank lenders;
- the broker can compare available lender options based on the information you provide to it;
- the initial broker conversation does not commit you to accept a loan;

- broker channels may include lender offers that are not advertised directly to the public, subject to availability and your eligibility.
Any rate, repayment, approval timing or credit-score statement must come from Acquired Financial Services and be supported by its approved wording and any required disclaimer.
9. No guarantee of finance or savings
A referral is not an application, approval, offer of credit or guarantee of any interest rate, repayment, loan amount, lender, timing or saving. Finance outcomes depend on your circumstances, the vehicle, lender criteria, verification and applicable law.
Do not make a financial commitment based only on a general website statement or digital-assistant response. Review all documents and disclosures provided by Acquired Financial Services and the lender.
10. Privacy
We handle your referral information in accordance with the Buy My Next Car Privacy Policy. Once your information is provided to Acquired Financial Services, it will handle the information under its own privacy policy and legal obligations.
