Car Finance

Do you dream of a car that is faster? more efficient? more suitable for a new family member?

You may find that shopping around for the best car finance rate can be a hassle.
Advantage Loans know you'll want the lowest repayments possible with a finance company you can trust, and if you've already read the About Us page you'll know that Advantage Loans can find just that.

There’s quite a variety of options available to everyone for getting car finance these days which can get confusing at times. With Advantage Loans we’ll make sure you're offered an affordable car loan even if you have a poor credit record. If you are looking to get a loan for either a new or used car, Advantage Loans is the place to start.

Budgeting: overall price, or monthly payment?
There are two basic approaches to deciding your spending limit. The most obvious one is to have a maximum car price in mind; for example £12,000. If you’re paying cash, this is pretty easy, because you know how much money you have.

Calculating your monthly limit
Most people do plan to borrow some money to help finance their car. In that case, the more meaningful measure is the monthly payment.
To figure out how much you can afford to part with each month, do a quick calculation. List down your mortgage or rent payment, the amount you spend on groceries, utilities, insurance, council tax, other loans, pensions or savings and any other regular payments. Total up these and take the total away from your net monthly income. Then, take away your proposed monthly car payment. What’s left is your spending money: for clothes, emergencies, eating out, holidays, and so on: make sure there’s enough to cover these expenses.

How to bargain
Whether you've fixed a monthly budget and a deposit (which might be only your part exchange) or a cash spending limit, if you’re not sure what car you want, you can adopt an interesting approach to car shopping. Go to a number of car suppliers, and tell them upfront what you can afford to spend, and what your requirements are from your car (see the article Deciding Priorities for help with that). Tell them you're looking for a good deal and you don't care what the car is. Then, you can compare the packages that they come up with, and pick the one that appeals to you the most.

Don't forget the extras
Another factor to bring into play is running costs. Don’t forget that fuel, servicing, insurance and so on all need to be factored into your motoring budget – and generally, the more expensive a car is new, the more expensive it is to run. Don’t assume what these expenses are going to be – find out by getting quotes. Deciding how much you can afford to spend on a car is a very personal decision. The trick is to make sure you get a car you’re happy with.

There are many car finance options available from a variety of lenders offering you car loans at different payment periods and interest rates. Anyone looking for a car loan would be understandably confused on choosing the car finance deal that is right for them. We have help for individuals on different methods of financing your next car or sourcing a car loan. You also have the comfort of knowing that Advantage Loans are one of the biggest unsecured brokers in the UK.
