Silver car driving through a city at night

You’ve got your eye on a new set of wheels and the excitement is real. But just how quickly can you buy a car and turn that dream into reality? Sooner than you might think! Read on for the scoop on how to secure the keys to a new vehicle in record time.

The need for speed: buy a car in a flash

We get it – buying a new car is exciting and waiting weeks to secure finance isn’t ideal. After all, instant gratification is the name of the game these days. This is where a car finance broker can help. As experts in the field, they step in to turbocharge the car-buying process and get your application approved in a flash.

The thrill of same-day car finance

So, exactly how quickly can you buy a car? With the help of an experienced broker, you can secure the keys the same day. Even better, the process is surprisingly simple. Let’s take a closer look at what to expect:

  1. Complete a quick and easy online application to receive an accurate finance rate without affecting your credit score. Forms take just minutes to fill out and rates are based on the unique information you provide. Make sure you choose a broker that starts the process with a soft search, which has no impact on your credit file. Keep in mind that if you proceed further than this step, some lenders may run a hard search to verify your information, which will leave a mark on your file.
  2. After your initial application is complete, it’s time to chat about the specifics of your loan. You’ll need to decide what type of agreement you want to take out. For example, Hire Purchase (HP), Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Personal Contract Hire (PCH). It’s worth seeking help from an expert at this stage as navigating the world of car finance can be confusing for some motorists.
  3. Next, choose your dream car from a reputable dealer. This is the fun part! Whether you’re eyeing up a brand-new Nissan Qashqai or looking to snag savings on a used Volkswagen Polo, your options are wide open with car finance.
  4. When you’ve chosen a vehicle the broker steps in and take care of the paperwork. After you’ve signed the necessary documents, funds are usually transferred the next working day and you’re ready to hit the road in your new ride!

Preparation is key: how to speed up the process

While same-day car finance is certainly achievable, preparation is key. To expedite the process and ensure the fastest possible outcome, it’s crucial to have all your paperwork and documents in order. From proof of identity to income verification, having everything ready to go can make all the difference when it comes to speeding up the car-buying journey.
