When you’re buying a car, almost every dealer, car broker or car supermarket will offer you a finance scheme, it’s a major source of profit for the motor trade.
The problem with hire purchase is that you do not own the car until you have made your final repayments, meaning that the car is secured against your loan, and can even be taken from you. On top of this, there are often hidden fees and large deposits to be made before you even start paying back.
Our Car Loan gives solutions to the problems of car finance by giving you a chance to own your own car from the outset, with no deposit, no hidden fees, and at low-interest rates.
This is how it works...
