Hi All,

Before I rush into getting quotes for loans I thought i'd try get some advice from the forums!
I'm looking to borrow around £3,500 & its going to be for a car (my first infact) i currently have no debts, overdrafts, just monthly payments for my phone & memerships, etc. So my funds are quite stable at the moment.

I don't mind paying the loan off over 3-4 years has i'm not looking to have too high repayments just yet... not at my age anyway :D

So if anyone has any information or ideas, i'll be very grateful to hear from you!

Many thanks...

    If you don't have much credit history then your best bet would be to start with your bank as they can have more understanding of how you handle your finances than others would.
