Clients purchasing a Category A vehicle using bank finance arranged by WeBuyCars between now and the end of the year.
When will I pay my first instalment?

What must I do?
Once your finance application has been pre-approved and our Finance & Insurance representative has contacted you, please inform them that you would like to take up this deferred payment option. They will be able to inform you if you qualify, based on the specific bank’s credit and risk assessment.
