[Mini-Hazel-Nut]

Hi all, it`s time for me to have another Mini, I have been too long without. I approached a finance company I have used before called Pegasus. I soon found myself looking at two tall hurdles. One is that they won`t even consider private sales and the other is that they won`t consider dealers unless they are FCA regulated (whatever that is). Do any of you lovely people know of any regulated dealers I could approach?  I have been Googling for days and am getting somewhat down-hearted. Any suggestions welcomed.  Thanks, Hazel

Theres a register you can look businesses up on.

Personally I wouldn't go through a finance company. I reckon that given the low interest rates at the moment I would get a bank loan if you're eligible.

Having looked things up and dealt with 2 companies now I am inclined to agree with you. Some of the interest rates I have seen beggar belief. Thanks

Dont take this the wrong way, I wouldnt go through any finance company. These cars are big enough money sinks already.

No no, point taken and appreciated. I have sold my small collection of ventriloquist dummies and the results will finance the next Mini which I hope to acquire this week.
