I've got a little mini that has been in the garage for 5 months now.. I'm giving up with it as repairs are 2.3k and it's not worth it.
I applied on the MoneySupermarket website for car loans and have been accepted for one.
I have found a car 2 hours away (and a boat as I live on an island) through Zuto finance brokers and the loan would be through them from a company called money barn.
I've done my research on the car. My insurance would about 35 a month, tax would be 20 a year.
2013 plate car.
Read the mot and there were two advisories, nothing major- a light and a slight play in the offside front wheel baring.
The company have said this would be sorted and a new mot would be added.
I also read up on the garage- some reviews are good, a few negatives.
The garage are AA dealer promise so they have vetted the company etc. and help if anything goes wrong.
I can afford the payments etc. approx £100 for 4 years, fixed rate.
I don't have the greatest luck with cars and I'm nervous.
I only have a little over 1k so can't afford anything decent and don't want to have to buy again anytime soon so a cheap runaround isn't an option.
With this information- would you go ahead?
