Non Resident car finance
Options
Hello,
So I moved to UK in September 2017 and I'm thinking about getting a car here. Do you know any "car finance providers" that would agree financing 10K car with decent APR?
Car value: around 10 000
Loan Time: 24 or 36 months
Work: Full time (IT, 50K annually)
Driving Licence: EU since 2005 (I can get UK if needed)
Age: 31
In UK: since 09.2017
Nationality: Polish
Thanks!

Try an eligibility checker for a personal loans a guide. A 'decent APR' will mean different things for different people.0

Or buy a cheaper car and run that for a year or 2. I am not sure what the attraction in spending £10,000 of money you dont have to buy a car, as you can get a decent car for a lot less.
If your on £50K then you should be able to save up a good deposit for a car and borrow a bit less in the mean time.0 -

No. I don't know of any who would do it even with a high APR (other than guarantor loans).
Almost all lenders will want 3 years in the UK, there are very very few who will do it with 1 year in the UK but I am not aware of any who will do it with 7 or 8 months in the UK.0 -
