Check out our article on how to improve your chances of getting approved. This article will provide hints and tips on improving your chances of being accepted for car finance.

Are the results provided by the car finance calculator accurate?

Our car finance calculator gives you a close guess on how much your monthly payments might be. It uses things like how much you want to borrow, your credit history, and how long you want to spread out the payments.

 

Just remember, the numbers aren't perfect. They might change a little bit when you actually apply for the loan. This can happen because your credit score can affect the interest rate you get, and we need to double-check to make sure you can afford the payments.

 

We still try our best to give you a good idea of what to expect, so you can make the best choice about your new car!

What is the difference between interest rate and Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?

The interest rate is the basic borrowing cost, while the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes additional fees and charges. Think of the interest rate as the core expense and the APR as the total cost of borrowing.

 

We’re here to guide you through the financial jargon and help you make sense of it all. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions – we’ve got you covered!

How to choose a car loan

When it comes to choosing the type of car loan, Marsh Finance offers two options: hire purchase (HP) and personal contract purchase (PCP).

 

HP (Hire Purchase) is the more traditional form of finance in which you make an initial deposit followed by monthly repayments that, when completed, make the car yours.

 

Make all necessary repayments and ownership of the car transfers over to you. Check out our Hire Purchase page.

 

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) is the right option for those looking to save money over time and put it towards the eventual balloon payment. You can learn more about PCP finance via our PCP page.

I have bad credit, can I use the car finance calculator?

Of course you can! Click either ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ on the credit score option of the calculator and receive an estimate of your repayments and the total cost of credit. 

How much a month should I pay for a car?

The amount you should pay for a car each month depends on your personal situation, affordability, the car you want to buy, and how long your loan term will be.

 

Consider how much you can comfortably afford to spend on your car payment and ensure you have enough spare cash left to cover extra costs like insurance, tax, fuel, and maintenance.

 

If car ownership is important to you or you’d like a newer car model, then you might want to pay more each month for a hire purchase agreement.

 

But if low monthly payments are your priority, opting for PCP car finance or an older used car could be better.

What is a good APR on a loan?

What does pre-approved mean?

Pre-approval is an important part of the car finance process. It shows that you could be someone eligible for finance, but more needs to be done to get your dream car. At the point of pre-approval, a soft credit check takes place. This doesn't affect your credit score, but going through with finance will mean a hard credit check. Pre-approval isn't a guarantee of a loan, but it's a really important start. If you are looking to get pre-approved for finance, we can help.
