Check out some brilliant cars for different budgets
Big dreams, small budget
Model: Citroen C3
This superb little Citroen C3 is the cheapest car on Sun Motors today. You can take it home for £45 per month – that’s less than the cost of most unlimited mobile phone contracts.
It’s not a sporty supercar, and not many of us dream of owning a Citroen, but driving doesn’t come much cheaper…
Super city car
Model: Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GTI
Now we’re talking. For £267 a month, you could find yourself driving this sporty little Golf GTI.
The quintessential hot hatch looks incredible in jet black with red detailing and glistening alloys. Pull up at a junction and you’ll get nods of approval from pedestrians and petrolheads.
Just plain awesome
Model: Audi TT 2.0 TFSI 40
It’s an Audi TT and it’s nearly new. That’s probably all you need to know, but we’ll go on. It’s done 10,000 miles, so the new-car-smell is still going to be there.
This 194bhp, gun-metal-grey beast is built for grand touring adventures. (Or the golf club, supermarket or even the school run, if that’s where you’re going.) It can be yours for around £500 per month.
Dream car
Model: Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Daniel Craig has hung up his speedos, so there’s a gap for a new Bond and you can get 1% closer with this amazing Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.
The performance is, as you’d expect, superb. You might not have the figure, but it can be yours (if you qualify for finance). Alas, we don’t.
Car finance Sun Motors FAQs
Here are some car finance FAQs answered in full.
Am I eligible for a car on finance?
- Visit Sun Motors
- Fill out all the details requested
- Sit back and wait for your personalised finance offers
We don’t know you and your circumstances, so it’s impossible for us to say yes or no – but you can always try!
You’ll see above from our step-by-step guide how quick it is to check your eligibility for finance.
The soft check won’t dent or damage your credit rating, so what’s the harm?
Can I get car finance on a provisional licence
As long as you’re over 18 and in employment, you can get credit to buy a car. However, some lenders may have specific rules around this, so it’s always better to check. The good news is that it’ll take less than a minute with Sun Motors.
Whatever you do, always be honest when applying for credit. Failing to disclose something critical during the credit application process could cause you problems in the future.
Can you get a car on finance with bad credit?
Yes. Lenders will consider a range of factors when calculating your personalised loan agreements. When buying a car, you’re getting an asset with value. This means lenders may be more likely to agree on a finance agreement for a car.
Again, we don’t know anything about you – but credit reference agencies do. It’ll take a few minutes to run a check and won’t harm your credit rating, so why not give it a try?
What do you need to get finance on a car
To get credit for a car, you’ll need to demonstrate that you’re a genuine person who’s 18 or over, have a UK address and are able to repay a loan.
These are the basics.
The step-by-step guide above lays out precisely what you need to provide our lenders to get a finance quote. Always provide all information you’re naked for and be completely honest.
