Finance
Most cars we source are paid for on finance. We can introduce you to lenders and get the paperwork moving in parallel with the search, so funding is not the thing that holds the car up.
Sort it before we find the car
The good cars move quickly. If your funding is agreed in principle before we start looking, we can act when the right one appears rather than losing it while an application is underway.
It costs nothing to have that conversation early and it does not commit you to anything.
What the lender will want
Lenders make their own decisions and we do not make them on their behalf. What is offered to you, over what term and at what rate, depends on your circumstances and on the car itself. Older and higher mileage cars are harder to fund, and some lenders will not touch certain categories at all.
Have the following to hand and the process is considerably faster.
- Three years of address history
- Employment details and income
- Bank account details for the direct debit
- The deposit you intend to put down
- Details of any car you are part exchanging
Part exchange and settlement
If your current car is on outstanding finance, we can obtain the settlement figure and deal with the lender directly. Where the car is worth more than the settlement, the difference goes towards the new one. Where it is worth less, the shortfall has to be covered, and we will tell you that plainly rather than folding it quietly into a monthly figure.
We quote you the price of the car and the value of yours as two separate numbers, so you can see exactly what each is worth.
Talk to us directly about funding
We do not publish rates, representative examples or finance calculators on this site. Quoting a monthly figure before anyone has looked at your circumstances or at the specific car tells you nothing useful, and every one of those numbers comes with conditions attached.
Call or email and we will talk you through what is realistic for the car you are after.
