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.

    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.

    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.

    Buy a cheap runaround with your first month's wages.
