Money Box Live: How to find the right car finance

Over 90% of all new car purchases are made using some form of finance. But research suggests most buyers don't understand the contracts they're signing. Are you among them?

Over 90% of all new car purchases are made using some form of finance. And yet research suggests the vast majority of buyers don't understand the contracts they're signing. If you're the proud driver of a shiny new motor, how much of the small print did you read before leaving the showroom? Do you know what are your obligations if you become ill soon after getting your car? And how important is the amount of mileage you expect to do in a year? Whether it’s a hire purchase agreement, a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or a straight leasing contract, what are your rights and what can you do if things go wrong? Join Louise Cooper and her panel of experts as they look under the bonnet of car finance deals.

Guests:
Stuart Masson, Editor, The Car Expert
Adrian Dally, Head of Motor Finance at Finance and Leasing Association
