Holden Rodeo finance calculator Not a lender. Not a broker. Financing a Holden Rodeo in New Zealand
The Rodeo is Holden's compact ute from before the Colorado name replaced it in 2008, and more than 10,000 remain on New Zealand roads across the two-wheel and four-wheel-drive variants. It shares its platform and much of its mechanical package with the Isuzu D-Max of the same era, which is genuinely useful for a buyer because it means parts and workshop familiarity are far better than a discontinued Holden badge would suggest. Most Rodeo finance is a work-vehicle purchase rather than a household one.

Financing notes
What financing a Rodeo usually looks like.
At $11,000 over three years at 8% indicative, the weekly repayment sits near $82. Vehicle-age limits bind on a model that ended in 2008, so terms are short where secured finance is available. Where the ute is mainly a business asset a chattel mortgage is often the better structure than a consumer car loan, settled with an accountant before applying.
Model-specific questions
Holden Rodeo finance FAQ.
Is the Holden Rodeo related to the Isuzu D-Max?
Yes, they share a platform and much of their mechanical package from that era, which is why parts and workshop familiarity are far better than a discontinued Holden badge suggests. The D-Max has its own page on this site, and lenders treat the two utes on broadly similar terms.
What replaced the Rodeo in New Zealand?
Holden renamed the ute the Colorado from 2008, so the Colorado is the direct continuation of the same line rather than a separate model. That is worth knowing when comparing used stock, because a late Rodeo and an early Colorado are closely related vehicles.
Can a Rodeo be financed through a business?
Commonly, since most are bought to work. Where the ute is mainly a business asset a chattel mortgage generally fits better than a consumer car loan, and the GST and depreciation position follows from that structure. Your accountant confirms which applies.
What does a Rodeo cost per week on finance?
An $11,500 RA twin cab over three years at 8% indicative runs at roughly $86 a week. Terms are short on a vehicle of this age, so the weekly figure sits higher than the purchase price alone suggests, which the calculator above makes visible.
