Hi !

I want to purchase either an old shape or new (not latest) shape scooby or New Civic Type-R. Problem is : I don't want to shell out in one large amount for the car by paying in cash and want finance - this is where the problems start !

My Mum's kindly offered to have the car in her name with me paying the installments. Due to my bad credit past I've had problems in applying myself. This seems like the ideal thing but I was wondering if anybody knew best / cheapest places ? I know I won't have any problems with instalments because I've since got 2 decent jobs

Ideally, I'd like a place where my mum can apply online and then we can purchase the car from anywhere (if this was the case I'd consider an older shape WRX).

ANy help considered as I desperately want to come back into the Subaru fold after selling my sport a year or so ago !

If you use the AA loan they give you a free car inspection.

An added bit of peace of mind!

I had this problem. In the end i had to buy the car from a dealer (not Scoobaru dealer ) and pay about 3k interest

It also meant I wasnt getting as good deal, I could have had the same car with 12k miles instead of 50k for the price i had to pay, due to getting it from a trader rather than from a private seller.
