Hello,
I am planning on buying a Toyota Hilux, which I need for farming. It is €25,000. What is my best way to finance? I was thinking hire purchase.

I am hoping to get car finance. I left a permanent primary teaching job of 18 years in Dublin and moved to the country. I am now on a fixed term contract but will have no problem securing another job next September. My job now requires me to drive to work so I need a reliable vehicle. I have an 03 Toyota that I would hope to trade in for scrappage. I don’t wish to use a guarantor to apply for a loan from credit union/banks. Would I qualify for PCP as I am debt-free and a homeowner since 2007? I could also provide a deposit of €2,000/3,000.
Thanks

I was working in UK and took finance on a car, and now I have an opportunity to move back to Ireland. Can I VRT the car here and re-register to Irish plates? I intend to continue to pay all finance owing monthly as I am doing.

Can you renew a PCP at the end of the term but transfer to another car brand? If so can you transfer the GFV as a deposit for the new car with the other manufacturer? And if this is possible how is the bubble payment settled with the original car company?
Many thanks.

Hi,
How long should loan approval take after a car dealer submits your proposal form to their finance department? A car dealer submitted my finance application on Friday at 12:30 and I didn’t hear back yet for rest of Friday so will have to wait until Monday...

I am wondering if it's possible to get a car financed without having work sorted first. I am moving back to Ireland to the west and need a car to have a chance of getting work. I am wondering if finance is like a loan where you need a job first to get it or does it work differently than that?

Hi,
I am in employment for the last three months and I have finance approved, but my work company won't sign the paper saying I am not on probation. Just wondering what I should do.
