I'm looking at second hand car options but at the price I'm looking at, a 'normal' 3-5 year loan is too expensive per month. I was wondering if there are reputable loan providers out there which allow a final balloon payment to be made at the end of the agreement so as to reduce my monthly payments?

Thanks in advance.

If you can't afford the monthly repayments how do you plan to afford the massive balloon payment?

I'd agree with this to be honest although some car loan providers do this I think Santander/Black Horse finance may smile

Some lenders may re-finance the balloon, although don't hold your breath.

Personal Contract Plan finance isn't referred to in the trade as a Perpetual Car Prison for nothing.

Depends on the age of the car - if it's up to 5 years old at the beginning then I can do a PCP with final balloon (pm me for details if you'd like a specific quote.) Cheers, Richard
