need a loan for £1000 / £1500 (student)
i passed my driving test, i am a full time student, and i now wnat a car.
i work 2 x a week 8 / 7 hours get paid £70 a week. ive only worked for 2 weeks at the moment so i have £140 buti owed some of this out so now i only have £80. anyways
i am looking for a small loan for a car to get me to work as it costs me £9 each time in a taxi.
can anybody tell me (approximetly) monthly payment of a £1500 loan? and where would be the best place to get it? thanks.
= Problems =
worried about car insurance monthly = £80 / 90 monthly + (LOAN Direct Debit) what ever it is. i think i should be ok though. thanks

you will probably need to budget
insurance 1000
car tax 120
MOT 50
servicing/repairs 150
rac/aa 40
so lets say 1310 per annum or 110 per month
although i think you will find it difficult to get a loan but if you did and repaid it over a year at say 15% apr then it would cost about 135 per month and lets add 50 for petrol so its going to cost you £295 per month.
Are you sure you are going to keep the job for a year..what would happen if you gave it up .. you would still be left with these costs.
have you considered a bike?
so each month you would pay0
