How does car finance work at Bridge Motor Company?

We arrange car finance through a number of lenders, including Santander Consumer Finance, with packages to suit all budgets.

Paying monthly lets you spread the cost of your next car instead of paying in one go. We deal with a number of finance companies so that we can offer car finance to customers across the board, and most of the cars in our stock can be supplied with a competitive finance package, subject to approval.

What if I have been turned down for finance before?

If you have had trouble getting car finance in the past, let us help. We have a number of flexible finance packages available to suit all budgets. Please give us a call on 0113 250 1657 to discuss it further. As long as you have a full driving licence, we can help you make that important car purchase at a flexible, affordable price.

How do I buy a car on finance?

1. Choose your vehicle

   Pick a car or van from our stock, or tell us what you are looking for.

2. Tell us your budget

   Send the form below or call us with your monthly budget and deposit.

3. We find a package

   We speak to our lenders and come back with a package that suits you, subject to status.

4. Drive away

   Once the agreement is approved and signed, the car is yours to collect.

What should I think about before applying?

• Your monthly budget. Decide what you can comfortably afford each month, including insurance, fuel and tax.
• Your deposit. A larger deposit lowers the amount you borrow. A part exchange can count towards it.
• The length of the agreement. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but usually costs more in total.
• Your credit record. Lenders check it when you apply. You can see your own record for free with the main credit reference agencies.

The government-backed MoneyHelper service has an impartial guide to car finance if you would like to compare the different types of agreement first.
