What is car finance?

Black Horse car finance helps you spread the cost of a new or used car. Instead of paying the full cost of the car upfront, you would typically pay a deposit and make monthly repayments which include any interest payable, over an agreed term. 

​Black Horse buys the car on your behalf and you will become the owner of the vehicle once the final repayment including interest has been made.
