What is Car Finance?
Car finance lets you breakdown the cost of a new or used car into more manageable chunks, allowing you to pay monthly rather than in one lump sum.
There are many different types of car finance, some of which are available for both new and used cars, and some that are only applicable to new cars.
The decision about which one is best for you is largely based on whether you will be using your car for business or personal use, whether or not you would like to own the vehicle at the end of your agreement and if you are happy to limit your annual mileage.
