Hi,

Im needing some finance for my new car.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to go for some? Bearing in mind the new car is being bought through a private sale. I've phoned a couple of companies who are refusing to lend me the money unless the car is being bought from a dealer :sad:

Does Mark Dryden @ Saltire vehicles still offer this service?

Thanks in advance
Ryan

go to http://www.car-finance.net/ and ask them for a quote. they done a good deal for me, actually bet the rate from the mini dealer. I done everything over the phone. They can also do a deal when buying from private individuals.

Thanks Ian, got in touch with them and I've pretty much got one sorted in a turn around of 10 minutes! :thumbs up:

Just a real shame however that it is around £25 more per month due to the fact I am buying the car privately. They see more of a risk providing finance to someone in a private sale :sad: Darn!

Got to look at the £25 over however many months you are paying it up and see if it still a bargain going privately or if you are better getting oner at a dealer.

Also, try your bank, not the best rates, but, they don't hit you for the private sale portion

Finding finance for a private car is becoming a bit of a joke tbh

Only had 3 people get back to me. All of which are charging £80+ of interest on every monthly payment. A £6000 loan is effectively costing the same as a £12000 loan does from Mini Finance.

Looks like I won't have my new GP for Mothership...

ANY CHANCE? :p:sad:

Cheers, sorry just saw your post! I'll give them a try!

Thanks man, I emailed the finance manager at John Clark who never replied to me!

sent you a text with details of a finance company that my dealer mate uses.
Not sure if I still have the correct mobile number for you though.
