Getting Finance For A Used Car

You might be thinking of applying for finance so that you can purchase a second hand vehicle.

This means that you need to be able to demonstrate convincingly where the money for repayments is coming from. In order to do this you need to be able to show your income and expenditure to the lender. This calculation should be able to show that there is enough spare money every month for you to repay the loan. There really is no point applying for this loan unless you have done this calculation.

 

- You will probably need supporting documentation so make sure that you have this with you. You should take your three most recent payslips with you. You need to also make a note of the average cost of your utility bills each month and say what they are for.
