Unfortunately, that usually feels like it is completely out of reach due to the price involved in a new car. That is, unless you take our finance.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBut that brings up yet another question that you need to answer; how do you finance a car?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe like to think that we are somewhat well versed in this subject, so let&rsquo;s take a look at the finance options available to you and how you can get your new car!<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Finance Available<\/h2>\n<p>There are really only two types of finance out there when it comes to buying a new car, despite the fact that they are constantly referring to them under different names. Specifically, you are looking at the following;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Hire Purchase &#8211; a monthly payment over an extended period of time to purchase a vehicle, covering the whole cost of the vehicle.<br \/>\n&#8211; Car Leasing &#8211; a finance agreement where you do not own the vehicle at the end, but pay a lower price.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs we mentioned, these two finance options go by a variety of different names but always boil down to the same two things. So, let us take a bit more of a detailed view at each of them &#8211; that way, you can see how you can finance a new car.<\/p>\n<h2>Hire Purchase<\/h2>\n<p>With a Hire Purchase, you are specifically buying the vehicle, although you won&rsquo;t own it yourself until you have paid off the finance. On top of this, it will also require you to put down a significant deposit before you are allowed to drive away with the car.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTherefore, it is important to note that you will need to have a good amount of money both at the start of the Hire Purchase and each month of its duration.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTypically, a Hire Purchase involves an agreement with a specific lender, be it a finance company or a bank, for example. However, you would normally get the deal agreed by the car dealership.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTherefore, if you want to get a car on Hire Purchase, your best bet is to look at new car lists like ours here, find one that you like and then get in touch with the dealership. From there, you will be able to apply for a Hire Purchase contract.<\/p>\n<h2>Car Leasing<\/h2>\n<p>Car Leasing is similar to Hire Purchase in some ways, but works very differently. You still have to put down a deposit to get your contract started, and there are still monthly repayments. However, the cost is very different.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFor example, your payments actually only cover the cost of the car&rsquo;s depreciation in value. This means that the monthly fee is lower than it would be for a Hire Purchase. That said, it is also really important to be aware that you won&rsquo;t own the vehicle at the end of the lease duration. Instead, you would give it back to the dealership, at which point you can either upgrade to a newer model or look at other options.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTo arrange a Car Lease, you typically discuss it with the lease dealer directly. Therefore, take a look at our list of vehicles available on lease <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars2buy.co.uk\/personal-car-leasing\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being realistic, we all have that dream car or vehicle that we want to be able to drive.
