Car finance in Leeds
Investing in a car is an exciting time, but we appreciate it can also be an expense you may not have planned for. This is why we are happy to offer finance solutions on our entire range of used cars here at First4car.com.Â
As an established used car dealership in Pudsey, Leeds, we’ve helped many thousands of customers secure finance on their used car to help make their purchase even more affordable. Customers across West Yorkshire and beyond are pleasantly surprised at just how competitively priced used car finance can be. While we’re not a finance lender ourselves, we have spent years cultivating relationships with some of the best car finance companies in the UK.Â
We work in partnership with several finance companies such as Evolution, Close Brothers Motor Finance, MotoNovo, Santander, and Blue Finance. We are a credit broker, not a lender. We work with a number of carefully selected credit providers who may be able to offer you finance for your purchase (Written Quotation available upon request). We do not have access to the entire market and can only offer a limited selection of finance options from the lenders we work with (details available upon request). We do not provide advice or recommendations, and it is your responsibility to assess whether the finance product you choose is suitable for your needs. We do not provide independent financial advice, and our actions are conducted in our own interest when arranging finance. We do not act on your behalf, and legally, this means we do not offer impartial advice or owe you undivided loyalty. We are neither your agent nor fiduciary.
We do not charge you a fee for introducing you to a lender; however, we receive a commission from the lenders we work with, which may be either a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow. Commission rates vary between lenders. In some cases, lenders may also offer us preferential rates for financing our vehicle stock, as well as financial support for training and marketing.
We will inform you of any commission details before you enter into an agreement and will ask for your consent to its payment. If you are not satisfied with the commission amount or structure, you have the option to withhold consent and choose not to proceed with the transaction. The commission we receive is included in the overall cost of your finance. These arrangements are pre-negotiated with the lender, and we cannot modify the interest rate or any other components of the total charge for credit.
All finance is subject to status and income. Terms and conditions apply. Applicants must be 18 years or over.

What are the benefits of financing a car?
Regardless of whether a car is new, nearly new, or secondhand, the value to the person wishing to own that vehicle is the same. Financing a car is fast becoming the preferred method of purchasing a new or used car in the UK. Why are so many motorists opting to finance a car? Here are just a few reasons why it could prove the perfect choice for you:
- You won’t need to save a large amount of money to pay for the car outright
- You can effectively manage your monthly payments
- You can change your car more frequently  Â
Poor credit car finance
We understand that during these uncertain economic times, your credit rating may not be as good as you’d hoped. In this instance, we will still do everything we can to help. First4car.com has been family run since 2001, so we have many years of experience not only establishing, but nurturing our relationships with lenders.
As such, we work with a handful of companies that specialise in providing used car finance for those with a poor credit score. Times are hard and lenders are becoming more aware of the fact that everyone deserves a chance when applying for car finance. Speak to one of our friendly team to find out how we can help.
Zero deposit car finance
Many car finance deals are subject to an initial upfront deposit. We appreciate that with the cost of living going up, not everyone can afford to pay an initial amount to secure their used car finance agreement. This is why we also work with lenders who can offer zero deposit finance deals on our used cars.Â
In this instance, an upfront payment is an optional requirement only, so you can choose to go ahead with the finance agreement by opting for monthly payments only. Do bear in mind that in this instance, your monthly payments are likely to be higher than if you were to agree to an initial payment of between three to six months upfront. Again, we can speak with you about your options. Â
Part exchange car finance deals
Here at First4car.com, we are only too happy to welcome a part exchange deal for your current car. With this in mind, we can also accept your car for part exchange so you can use the money to invest in another used car on a finance deal. This means that the price you receive for your current car is offset against the amount you borrow from the lender. Get in touch and find out what your car could be worth - we offer excellent part exchange prices.
Free car finance credit check
Find out if you’re likely to be approved for car finance by using the FREE credit check service on our website. Look for the green Free Credit Check button listed underneath each of our used cars - here you can check your credit score without it affecting your credit rating.Â
You can also use our free finance calculator to work out what you could be paying for a used car each month. Simply adjust the term length, your monthly payment or deposit amount to receive a quote.  Â
