Besides buying a house, one of the most exciting but stressful periods in your life is buying a car whether it's your first, or your fifth. The exciting part is when you buy the car of your dreams, but the stressful part is trying to find the finance to be able to buy that car. When applying with different finance companies for car finance the interest rates they offer may vary significantly from lender to lender. This is because they have internal scoring systems in the background which may complicate your application process.
At FairGo Car Loans we have simplified this process and removed the uncertainties of applying through different lenders so that we can offer you a fair and competitive interest rate.
