hi everyone

would like to hear everyone's advice/experiences

we need to borrow £8000 for a car.

we've applied to northern rock as the rate came up cheapest at 5%ish on the search engine.

theyve offered it to us, but at 7.6%, which obviously makes a huge difference and makes northern rock not the cheapest.

does anyone out there know who does the genuinely cheapest rate for £8000? please?

thanks in advance.

    APR offered by different lenders depends on how they score you based on your credit history and current circumstances. You must have a perfect history to get the best rate.
    Nationwide has the only one rate advertised for everybody: 6.7%. However, with them you either get this rate or get nothing ...
