Car finance - discharged bankrupt
So, first things first, I've been discharged for over two years now.
I will be needing to get another car later in this year as my current one is starting to cost too much to maintain, and has it's MOT in a few months time as well.
I'd imagine getting finance will likely be difficult given the bankruptcy from 2018 (discharged April 2019) will still be on my file for a few years yet.
But can someone advise what options would likely be out there for me?
I have a small credit card, which is paid in full each month, so don't carry any other debt and the only other credit payment would be my mobile phone contract.

However, maintaining your existing car will almost certainly be cheaper than buying a new one.
Don't be tempted to jump straight back into getting unnecessary credit.
