We offer finance on most vehicles for personal use, and cover the majority of UK dealerships. Finance isn’t available for commercial vehicles or purchases from private sellers.
You can get as many personalised quotes as you like, and then apply once you’ve found the right car and confirmed the price with the dealer.
We don't offer part-exchange with Car Finance Plus. However, you can get an independent valuation and sell your car, and use the money from the sale as a deposit for your new car, or you can arrange a part-exchange with the dealer you’re buying your car from.
-
Once you’ve found the car you want, we’ll need some details. If it’s a used car we’ll ask you:
- dealer’s name and postcode
- registration number
- current mileage
- how many miles you expect to drive each year
- the price
- the amount of your deposit.
If it’s a new car we’ll also need:
- the delivery date of your car
- the full vehicle details if you don’t know the registration
We’ll also ask for some details about your finances, such as:
- monthly income
- mortgage/rent payments
- your regular spending
- any existing car finance commitments
-
We’ll give you a decision straight away and the offer will be valid for 90 days.
You’ll need to provide the dealer’s bank details so we can transfer the money after you’ve signed the legal documents. It may take a few hours for your dealer to receive the money. Payments made after 3.30pm will be with your dealer before 12pm the next working day.
There’s no obligation if you change your mind after your finance application has been accepted, and no effect on your credit rating until you agree on the purchase.
You can apply if you’re:
- an existing Grindlay's Bank main Personal Current Account holder (minimum 3 months)
- registered for Internet Banking
- aged 18 or over
- a UK resident.
Credit is subject to status and additional affordability checks.
