if you can avoid it, then neither.
i am still paying for a car i had 5 years ago, yet drive a car that cost £500 and all because the engine gave up on the one i got on finance.
if you have to, then personal loan all the way.
much lower APR than the showroom can offer you |

Have a look at martin Lewis site on net... Advice.
Bank would be my choice. Dealers get fees for referring finance.
I just need to get my bum.in gear for theory test... The hazard thing putting me off...

Call whichever bank you bank with and ask them for their best persona loan rate. Then have a look at moneysupermarket for the best rate. Call your bank back and they will probably match it. The reason I say use your bank is that it can be approved and in your account in a meter of minutes. |

Always use a dealer's finance. They only get a commission from the finance company if they charge you above their threshold rate. So always negotiate. Also, by using their finance, it means you're not using up your first line of credit (your bank) which leaves you a fallback position in case of unforeseen emergencies in the future. |

"If you need a loan go to local credit unions."
I thought you had to be a member tripodius. So you had to be a saving member in order to get a loan. Could be wrong tho. Could also vary between different credit unions.
Credit unions are superb  |

Never buy a car on HP through a dealer if you van help it
Higher interest rate (usually)
But more importantly, you don't actually own the vehicle until the final payment is made. Also less rights under the consumer credit act |

I opted for a personal loan through my own bank as it happens. Got 5.9%.
Just thought I'd check as the sales staff were quite pushy but the only plus side to HP I could see is the availability of credit but i don't think that's really a problem for me personally.
Pick the car up tomorrow happy days |

"I may be wrong hp has a large payment (balloon payment) at the end"
Think you may be confusing HP with contract hire where there is a right to buy at the end of the contract.
Contract hire is always worth investigating.  |

Depends on how much and for how long.ho from the garage gives you more legal rights.there is no balloon payment at end of ho you are confusing that with leasing.ho leaves your line of credit with your bank clear in case you ever need money for something else. |
