Car finance with Fiat

in Loans
I have today been to see FIAT about getting a car on finance. Not sure if this counts as a loan question sorry!

I'm 20, a student and living at home and i don't pay any rent (My mum is kind enough even though i have offered!)

I pay a monthly phone bill each month and without fail well it's two contracts really as i pay my brothers on my name.

As i know the finance company check credit ratings etc i have no idea if i have a good one as i don't have a credit card nor do i ever intend to have one in my life they cause problems and my other half pays my car insurance for me that i have on my car now which is on it's way out so really i guess they only have my payments of phonebills to go off. :(

I earn at least 1,000 a month from working 2 jobs but i doubt they take that in to account one i get paid cash in hand.

Anybody recon i'll have any luck? With the current climate i can't see it happening but i'm hoping!

Thanks :)

    A lot will ask for a gurantor or wage slips, so you can only state what you prove you recieve
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I wouldn't crow on about that "cash in hand" job unless you want a visit from HMRC, they are checking credit ratings companies now to find people who are living beyond their obvious means.

    plus as above it is tax evasion

    errr, you make £1k a month, pay no rent or car insurance and have no outgoings except a mobile phone bill. Surely in a few months you could SAVE enough to buy a car?!
