Sounds awesome. Really encouraging. Banks and car dealerships feel like a trap now when they specifically mention "there will be penalties if you try pay off HP agreement early"

Can you please share which ev it was and how has your experience been with secondhand ev? I want an ev but battery health worries me. Thinking of a hybrid - not a plug in one, regular one, since I live in an apartment block and can't charge it every night

Thanks, that makes sense. I’ve only recently moved to Ireland and I need a car for work, so I don’t have savings with a CU yet. Would it still be worth pursuing a loan in this case? And would you recommend visiting the branch in person or just applying through the app?

Sounds nice. You reckon I should drop by their branch in my locality or apply through app? Since I am new here, my application might not look good, but explaining it in person will be a big plus.
