Car finance?

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get finance for a vehicle either during BR or not long after discharge.
There are many companies who seem to say they guarantee acceptance but has anyone actually manged to get a loan?.
I understand a reasonable deposit would be expected and the interest will be high but even so it's less of a waste of money then leasing/contract hiring
Thanks

I should imagine it's the same as any credit deal - depends on the lender and your viability to lend to. No harm ringing a lease hire company and asking.When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN
