Small loan, pay off quickly?

Hello all! I've been lurking for ages and finally, my first reason to make an actual post! :)

I wonder if anyone has any information on car loans or personal loans?

I am an absolute beginner on this, but willing to save money and get the best deal I can.

I am looking for a £3000 loan and wanting to pay it off in one to two years.

I'm currently looking in to the 10 month 0% and 12 month 0% credit cards, would I be able to get one (if approved) and basically withdraw £3000? Then pay it off over the (sorry, not sure how that all works).

Would a personal loan be better? The Abbey are offering great APR at the minute!

Any ideas would be great! :)

    A lot of dealerships will take payment via credit card so you should look for one that does as withdrawing money off your credit cards is very expensive and 0% is normally not for cash withdrawals.

    Dealers may add a small charge for credit card processing so factor these into your deal. I.E, if they charge it, try and get that for free as part of the negs.

    Thanks for the reply Homer_J :) I didn't know that... looks like I may be able to borrow from a family member, which is always better than a bank! :)
