Any reduced rate loans for car purchases?

Options
Hi guys,

I've recently been scammed £2k online for a van that never was. I don't want to give up on my dream to be able to go places before it's too late. Doesn't anyone know if there are any discounted loans for WAV's?

Thanks in advance

    Never part with any money until you've seen a vehicle first, there's so many scammers out there especially online ones. You maybe better off posting over on the motoring section. Those on there would be more likely to advice you better on the loan question.

    what's your budget?

    When I bought mine I took a loan out with the bank that my current account is with. borrowed 7.5K with repayments less than my monthly PIP mobility payment over 3 years, and so monthly cost comparable to having a motability car except I'll still have it after 3 years hopefully

    Reading your other posts, the 2k that was stolen came from a loan. You might struggle to pass credit checks to get a second loan before the first one is paid off.

    If you claim the correct benefits then a motability car doesn't have credit checks. But you might struggle to afford it with other debts.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    also from your other post you still have £2k of the original loan? you could buy a passable van for that
