Car Finance

Hi,

I am looking into getting car finance through "drive the deal"
I have been turned down for loans because I am a temp and it has dented my credit score. I never knew (until I came on here) that the more you applied for, the worse your score. Hey, we all learn from our mistakes and hopefully my score will improve again because I have never missed a payment on my credit card, I dont have a phone bill, I am on the electoral register etc...!

Anyway, I have a feeling car finance will be quite costly although I have done the figures and I can afford it.
Anyone been in the same situation?
