What our vehicle finance covers
Most vehicle finance products in the UK come with a tangle of small print: balloon payments, mileage caps, condition restrictions, end-of-term fees, and APRs that scale with credit score. Ours does not.
Our vehicle finance is a straightforward unsecured personal loan structured for a vehicle purchase. The vehicle is yours from day one. There are no mileage limits, no condition restrictions, and no balloon payment at the end. You repay the loan; the vehicle is unencumbered.
Who this loan is for
- Buyers of new cars from a dealer or directly from a manufacturer
- Buyers of used cars from any source — dealer, private seller, or auction
- Motorbike enthusiasts purchasing road bikes, sport bikes, or touring motorcycles
- Boat and yacht buyers — leisure craft, sailing yachts, motor cruisers
- Classic car collectors funding purchase, restoration, or both
- Owners of recreational vehicles — motorhomes, caravans, off-road vehicles
- Drivers wanting to escape leasing or PCP cycles and own their vehicle outright
I'd been on PCP for eight years and never owned the car. ASAF financed the buy-out plus my next car. Same monthly payment, but now I actually own them.
How vehicle finance is structured
You apply for the loan amount you need to purchase the vehicle. Once approved, funds are transferred to your nominated account or directly to the seller (your choice). You then complete the purchase as you normally would — the vehicle is registered in your name from day one.
You repay the loan in fixed monthly installments at our flat 1.5% APR. There are no balloon payments, no end-of-term fees, no mileage caps, and no early repayment charges. You can sell the vehicle at any point and clear the loan early without penalty.
For classic restorations, we can structure the facility to cover both purchase and restoration costs, with staged drawdown that matches the restoration timeline. This avoids paying interest upfront on funds you do not yet need.
