i didnt want to take out a loan untill i was looking for a house but due to my old insurance company not paying out for my claim, i needed a small loan to help me buy the car.

even tho i have spoken about it, i wont sell my car untill ive paid for it in full otherwise i will just be paying for something that i dont have.

i dont intend on getting another loan and i dont even have a credit card so that i cant get in the debt that way.

Sounds fine to me, youve saved loads, and are fed up of waiting, which is fair enough. You'll pay an extra £400 in interest for the privaledge, but that's your call as to if it's worth it to you or not.

I think the majority of people have loans for cars these days, which is understandable, as it's a neccessity to most people :look:.

If you can't afford it don't do it!

I don't want to borrow money until I get a house, only thing worth having to lend money for.

Save you'l appreciate it more at end of the day.

Wel it would be for around 3000 over 2 years as i only intend having the car for 2 years, as said above i dont want to be paying for a car thats been sold on etc.

I can afford the repayments easily but just wanted a general opinion and experiences before i take the plunge.

Ive already saved a good chunk of money but to save the total fund would take ages and i simply dont want to wait until ive saved up all the money myself.

The car im still abit unsure, i think ive narrowed it down to astra coupe, bmw 318 or something VAG, fed up of corsas now!

Personally I wouldnt want to be paying a car any longer than 2 years.

My mate bought a Saxo as his 1st car, 5yr loan, he's still got the payments for it looming over him 4yrs & 2 cars later.

Main thing you want to look at is each companies approval ratings, and the final amount payable.

If you get a loan within your budget you won't have a problem. Just remeber that 3-4 years is a long time to be paying it off if you stretch your budget. Personally i'd try and save a wedge of cash if you can to either drop the payments, or have the loan over a shorter period :).

Depends how much you want to borrow & over how long & to buy what!! You dont want to end up paying for a car for 3 years after you sold it because it seemed a good idea at the time.
