our car has finally had it. we dont have the money to buy a car so will need to get finance. whats the best way to do it? loan? credit card? 0% finance from a car dealer etc etc. we have no idea! any advice?

0% would be your best bet, but often you can only get such deals with a fairly heft deposit. Vauxhall are doing 4 years 0% but with a 30% deposit.

Definitely not credit card!

i don't think dealer finance is ever a good idea. shop around for loans.

we dont have money for a deposit even. maybe manage a few hundred if we sold our car. i was thinking of a zero percent credit card and keep switching. what do you think?

Don't count on being able to switch credit car as the deals may stop. You also have to ay a balance trnasfer fee of around 2.5% when you switch cards.

credit card not car

my card is only 5.9 apr. less than alot of loans i can find. i was thinking about using that. the balance is clear on it now.
i guess i'll have to just keep looking.
