Advice for first timer. Trying to buy a car.

Hi. Love this site but it's all very complicated isn't it. So he I am asking because I'm quite confused. I've never had a credit card before, nor has my girlfriend but she's trying to get a new car and thought a credit card might be a good option. But I've got a few questions. Can I use a credit card with 0% on purchases…

Hello have you thought about a credit union, If she already has savings then this may be an option although in some cases they like to see that you save before agreeing to lend any money. Have you thought about saving all the money to buy the car rather than borrow as this way will save you more in the long run HTH
