Or you could just go for a cheaper car. But I don't expect that is what you wanted to hear.
Also, leave your mother out of your financial affairs. If you are living rent free, she is already doing more than she should for you.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
will it be better if i make a joint with my mam? she a home owner but they have a lot on credit already...
Nope, but it would make a big difference to your mam if you bought a much cheaper car and upped the amount you give your mam every month so she would have to get less on credit.
Just saying

I bet your mam would be overjoyed if you offered to pay an amount each month to cover board/food etc.0

Most people just work hard and save up for what they want.
As you live at home with no outgoings, you could save for this in almost a year. Combine that with working OT, selling old junk on e-bay and gaining interest on your savings, its the best way to go.
What car is it? Nobody in their right mind would pay full price for a car!
Have you even considered insurance/tax/mot and repairs? No point paying £11k for the car if you can't afford to run it.
My advice would be stop applying as you will look desperate and destroy your credit file.
Sorry it's not what you want to hear. I'm suprised that you have no savings, in your current situation. Whats stopped you saving in the past?Total Mortgage OP £61,000Outstanding Mortgage £27,971Emergency Fund £62,100I AM NOW MORTGAGE NEUTRAL!!!! <<Sep-20>>0 -

You actually can't afford it as your having to get a loan to get the car. On your present salary getting the loan is NOT going to happen so forget about it. You have a working car so do the proper thing and save up. As your living at home you should be able to save up at least 10k in a year if not more with OT.0

yeah she works full time and the car is fine just wanted a change in car and found my dream car which i could afford if i got the loan lol
So you can't afford it. The definition of affordability is that you have the funds available to pay for an item. You do not have the funds, therefore cannot afford it.i get around 1,000 pay every month and atn living with parents and pay nothing
Quite apart from the fact that you are leech that ought to be paying your way, if you are paying no board then you ought to be able to save £800 per month. In a year you'll have £9,600 and will be able to either move out and start paying your own way in life or buy a lovely, shiny car.0
