Alternative to finance to get a car?

I have been offered a fantastic new job that pays more but gives a car allowance rather than a car itself...

As a discharged BR, what options are open to me to getting a proper car rather than a £500 old banger?

    Hi andy,

    I've got no personal experience of that situation but as a discharged bankrupt you're doing nothing wrong by applying for car finance. It's up to the individual companies to decide whether you represent an acceptable risk; I wouldn't mind being in that position :D
