Balance transfer

I am looking to use a 0% interest card to buy a car with and then pay this off every month. 

I have two questions surrounding this. 

1. I'm leaving my full time job for a much lower paying part time job at the end of this year. Will this affect my chances of getting accepted for a card?

2. My current account is with Santander. Santander also has the best 0% credit card for the longest time period. I understand that I can't transfer from the  Santander credit card to my Santander current account. Would I be able to transfer the money from the credit card to my partners account who uses a different bank?

    1) yes, if they ask about any forthcoming change of circumstances

    2) you can money transfer to your Santander current account. You can't BT from a Santander credit card.

    Will your car retailer accept a card payment for the full amount? You may need a money transfer card
