Help with Loan

Hi,

Hoping someone can help that is or has been in a similar situation to me, I'm looking for a car loan for around £5-7K and looking to pay around £140 - £180 back per month, I have a fair credit rating (unfortunately 3 points off of a good credit rating, but can't bring it up no matter how hard I try). I earn £1.5k per month and would recieve a car allowance from work that would actually allow me to pay off the loan each month but unfortunately when doing a loan search they don't let me tell them this!!!

Does anyone else know the best kind of rate I can get or if they have used a search with certain companies that would give me a loan (don't want to do any more searches to knock my credit rating any further as have just been turned down for a loan with a car dealership)

Please help :)
