How does car finance work?
When you purchase a car, you instantly become the owner of the vehicle. Then, you repay the loan to the lender for a time that suits your needs, plus additional interest. Interest rates vary per lender and are typically determined by the loan's length, as well as your particular circumstances and credit score.
How long do car finance applications take?
Completing and submitting the application takes around 15-20 minutes. It will generally take one or two working days to evaluate your papers and financial information before reaching a judgment on your application.
How much will car finance cost?
it will depend on the several factors:
Type of the loan: Depending on what you choose - PCP or HP finance - you will have to pay a different amount of money every month.
Credit history: The better your credit history, the more favourable the interest rate on the loan will be.
Deposit: If you are planning to put down a large deposit, your monthly instalments will be lower as a result.
Interest rate: It will depend on the different circumstances and in order to know the exact interest rate you will have to apply first.
What car can I get on finance?
You can get both a new or used car on finance. New car finance will allow you to purchase a brand-new vehicle, while used car finance would allow you to purchase a previously used vehicle.
How hard is it to get car finance?
Lenders do not easily provide car financing to individuals who have a bad credit score, credit history, or no credit file. Since they require assurance their money will be repaid, lenders consider a person's credit score for determining creditworthiness.
