Can I Finance a Supercar with Bad Credit?
Yes - though your options are narrower and conditions more stringent. Lenders such as First Response Finance specialise in adverse credit motor finance. A higher deposit (30–40%) significantly improves your chances, as does a recent period of credit improvement.
What Affects Your Application
- CCJs: Satisfied CCJs are viewed more favourably than unsatisfied ones. Recent CCJs are most damaging.
- Defaults: Older, satisfied defaults may be acceptable. Recent defaults on secured debt are usually a barrier.
- IVA / Bankruptcy: Typically requires discharge and a period of credit rebuilding (12–36 months minimum).
- Deposit: 30–40% significantly de-risks the facility for the lender.
