Discharged in a week, need a car

Hi, I should be getting discharged from my bankruptcy in a week and I wondered if anyone has any advice or knows of any companies that provide car credit /leasing to discharged folks. I'm self employed btw.

    I've seen a few adverts on Facebook, probably due to my search history of bankruptcy, financial difficulties etc.

    Expect to pay over the horrendously odds for the pleasure though! It would be much better for you financially if you are able to apply via a partner, relative etc.

    I'd say little to no one will lend or offer car lease/finance.

    You'd be better saving up as surely you now don't have all the debt outgoings you once did, or a loan you manage applied for by a relative or partner

    Failing that, your only option maybe a vanquish credit card, I got one a week after discharge with a limit of 1k... 4 months later they increased to 2k

    But sky high interest is something you want to avoid now you have a clean slate in my option.
