Found myself a nice 350z that I'm half interested and tapped into Google for some loan payment examples . If I were to borrow £6995 over 4years I would pay £209 a month. If I borrowed £7000 I would only have to pay £172 a month.
Rate changes from 8.8% to 20.9%

so base rate is 0.5% - that's a pretty good mark-up for them.
I hate Banks!!

unsecured lending has always been expensive and smaller amount incur higher interest rates
pretty big jump between 9 and 20% though.
missus just got 15k at 6%

I've bought my last 3 cars on 0% with my Virgin credit card - every time the 0% ends they
offer me another 12 months!

Forget it! Banks do not give out personal loans anymore they only advertise them so they can be in on the next round of quantitive easing, seriously I would forget it and look for alternative means of finance.

They do lend but only to very low risk. My missus just got a loan for 15k as i said above, Id be lucky if my own mum would lend me 10 quid

It was just a Google search for a rough guide that shocked me . At first I tapped in 6k and was then shocked that the repayments were less per month for 7k only needed 6 but somebody would be a fool not to borrow more. Being self employed its not easy to borrow anyway.

I borrowed at just the right time I think, before everything went tits up. I'm a selfie and they were disappointed that I didn't want 7k, but then I did tell a few porkies.

Does she work in finance by any chance?
