Car HP with CCJ

Hi Guys
Just wondering if anyone has and experience/comments on the following:
Looking to get a second hand car and use some savings and the rest on HP.
My credit score is not fantastic (low fair) and I have a CCJ from a year or so ago.
The deposit is likely to be approximately 50% of the vehicle cost.
I am wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge about the likelihood of being accepted by Black Horse Finance based on my situation?
Many thanks
David

Why don't you buy a lesser car with your savings?
You'll read how other people have fallen into a situation they regret by jumping into debt without fully understanding, or accepting, how the complexities work.
We've all been there and we learn, often the hardest way, and can offer a bit of guidance through our own efforts.
As others say, consider if a lower cost car is possible. In another year or two, the CCJ will be less of an issue (i assume its discharged?). I wouldn't trust the 95% myself btw - right now, your record is saying to potential lenders that only a year ago, you failed to pay a court order within the mandated time (I presume you didn't pay it before the deadline hence its on your record?)
Debt free - finally finished paying off £20k + Interest.
