Why Finance a Car?

Here’s why financing might make sense for you:

• Pay in manageable monthly chunks, not all at once
• Get a newer or better car than paying upfront might allow
• Keep your savings for something else — or just for peace of mind
• Makes budgeting simpler with fixed payments
• Build up your credit score with on-time payments
• Get your car sooner — no waiting years to save up the full price

Things to Know Before You Apply

A little prep goes a long way. Here’s what to sort before you apply:

• Check where your credit score stands
• Work out a monthly payment you’re comfortable with
• Decide how much, if anything, you can put down as a deposit
• Have your documents ready — ID, proof of income, that sort of thing
• Get familiar with UK APR rates — they tend to range between 7.9% and 24.9%, depending on your credit
• Look at how the loan length affects the total you’ll repay
• You might want to try getting pre-approved — it can give you a better idea of your options
