RECENT ASTON MARTIN FINANCE DEALS

For many years, we’ve had the pleasure of supporting one of our long-standing clients with finance for a number of vehicles, each one a little more special than the last. But this time, the brief was different. This time, it was about fulfilling a lifelong ambition, owning an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante.

The Vanquish Volante is a dream car for many people. As the flagship convertible grand tourer from Aston Martin, it blends performance, craftsmanship, and exclusivity in a way few cars can match.

Some standout facts about the Vanquish Volante:

• Hand-built British luxury performance convertible
• Naturally aspirated V12 engine (in earlier generations) delivering thrilling power and sound
• 0–60 mph in around 4 seconds depending on model year
• Produced in relatively low numbers compared to mainstream luxury cars

When our client found a superb example, it ticked every box ; specification, history, and condition. There was just one twist, it was being sold privately rather than through a dealership.

Financing a Private Vehicle Purchase — What to Watch For

Buying from a private seller can sometimes create opportunities to find exceptional vehicles — but it also requires additional care and due diligence. Unlike dealer purchases, private sales don’t come with the same built-in protections and processes.

Key things buyers should be aware of include:

• Proof of ownership — confirming the seller is the legal owner and entitled to sell the vehicle
• Outstanding finance checks — ensuring there is no existing finance secured against the car. The finance company will check this before releasing any funds
• Vehicle history verification — accidents, insurance category markers, mileage consistency
• Condition validation — independent inspections are often advisable for high-value cars

Because this was a private purchase, we worked closely with one of our specialist funder who is comfortable supporting private sales, provided enhanced safeguards are in place.

This included:

• Additional signed documentation so all parties clearly understood the transaction
• Verified proof that the vendor was the legal owner
• Supporting ID and address checks
• Clear purchase and payment documentation
• Direct coordination between buyer, seller, and funder

By managing the process end-to-end, we ensured everything was handled smoothly, transparently, and securely.

The Result

A very happy client, a stunning car and another successful specialist funding story.

Ready to fund your dream car? Get in touch and let’s make it happen.

We always value the relationships we build with our clients, and this story highlights just that. One of our long-standing clients, a true car enthusiast, has trusted us over the years to arrange finance on an incredible line-up of vehicles, including Lamborghini, McLaren and Mercedes-Benz.

This time, his sights were set on something truly special: the Aston Martin Vantage AMR ‘59’ Limited Edition. Produced in celebration of Aston Martin’s famous victory at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, only 59 examples of this car were built worldwide, making it a rare and highly sought-after model. With its 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, unique styling details, and motorsport-inspired heritage, the Vantage ‘59’ is as thrilling to look at as it is to drive.

The car was sourced through a franchised dealer, but when it came to funding, we were able to provide a more competitive prestige car finance arrangement than the in-house option. By tailoring the structure to the client’s preferences, we ensured a solution that suited both the vehicle and his ownership plans.

Having worked with us many times before, this client appreciates the personal approach we bring as a broker. We offer advice, flexibility, and access to funding that often outperforms dealer-provided packages. We’re proud to continue supporting his passion for cars with finance solutions that match the calibre of the vehicles themselves.

The team at Fast Car Finance are on hand to discuss funding your next purchase, get in touch to see how we can help you drive your dream.

We were introduced to a professional client,  who had previously arranged a Lease Purchase agreement via a third party.  While away on holiday, the final balloon payment on his Aston Martin Vantage was automatically debited from his account, a date that had unfortunately slipped his mind.

On his return, the client got in touch to explore options for reimbursing the significant funds that had been withdrawn. His priority was to restore liquidity without disrupting his broader financial plans.

We arranged a new Lease Purchase facility that effectively released equity from the vehicle he already owned, paying the full amount back into his bank account. The new agreement was structured over 36 months and included a final balloon payment, providing flexibility and preserving cash flow.

As part of the process, we carried out an asset inspection of the car.  The car in question the 2019 Aston Martin Vantage, is a true driver’s car boasting a 503 bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.

We also met the client face to face to complete the paperwork ensuring everything was in place promptly and professionally. The result was the client as regained access to the funds he needed while continuing to enjoy ownership and use of the car.

If you’re considering refinancing a vehicle or exploring equity release options, we’re here to help tailor a solution that works for you. Get in touch with the team to discuss how we might be able to help.

The Fast Car Finance team were delighted to welcome back a returning client, just over a decade after assisting him the first time around.

Having previously arranged finance for the purchase of a Porsche 911, our support this time around enabled this busy London professional to get behind the wheel of an equally impressive but thoroughly British motor car – the Aston Martin Vantage.

Following a large amount of time researching the model on-line and then having arranged a suitable test drive, our client elected to purchase the V12 “S” iteration. The S variant being a sportier and uprated version of the prior V12 engine and one that our customer felt would better hold its value over the longer term.

As with so many of our clients, our customer was a Company Director and his income inconsistent and paid via a combination of both salary and dividends. Offering a used Aston Martin finance loan via a regulated Lease Purchase facility, this enables the client to make additional lump sum payments into loan as he wishes. Overpayments not only allow flexibility, they also help reduce the total pre-determined interest payable, providing a cost saving over time.

Our highly experienced team understands how business owners and entrepreneurs are remunerated, so this enables us to structure suitable prestige car finance to suit the peaks and troughs in their income. We can arrange new sports car finance for that long wanted dream car but equally, we can organise classic car finance for those customers wishing to evoke childhood memories.

Did you know that you can refinance your current vehicle Hire Purchase agreement? The majority of car buyers are unaware that you can do this. If your current car finance was taken out at the point of sale with the supplying dealer, you may not have thought about shopping around. Perhaps a more competitive finance package was available at the time, but you were in a hurry to drive away. Refinancing could…

• Reduce your monthly payments

OR

• Provide you with a more competitive Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

In this particular case, Fast Car Finance were referred to a new client by one of our existing customers. After initially speaking to this busy Company Director, it transpired that he had purchased a beautiful low mileage Aston Martin Vanquish last year but was paying over £1,600 per month for the privilege but why?

After obtaining a copy of the underlying hire purchase (HP) agreement, it became evident that he had been offered a simple HP facility with no balloon payment. This created larger monthly payments that would not have been the case had he been offered a Lease Purchase facility. He had been told by the supplying dealer that due to the car’s age, it was not possible to offer a balloon payment at the end of the loan term. Simply not true, more likely they just didn’t have access to a suitable lender.

Fast Car Finance arranged to have the car revalued, to include a projected indication of what the car might be worth at the end of the current finance term. With a strong resale value indicated, we were able to offer used Aston Martin Finance over a new four-year term with a final lump sum payment of just over £43,000. This created a cash-flow saving of over £1,000 per month against the current lender’s finance repayments.

If you have an existing luxury car finance hire purchase loan or sports car finance hire purchase facility and you think you are paying more than you should be, please get in touch. We can offer a quick and simple review of your current car finance at NO cost to you. All we need is

• A copy of the current finance agreement
• A valid settlement figure (what you owe if you settle today)
• Confirmation of the car’s current mileage

Using this information, we can quickly assess if the current agreement is suitable or whether it makes sense to refinance it. In many cases we will confirm that your current motor finance is market leading and that you should not restructure it, but there are occasions when it might make sense to, this can include :

• A balloon payment due soon and you wish to keep the car – we can refinance the lump sum
• You have a Hire Purchase facility on an older/valuable car and now wish to refinance it on to a more structured facility that reflects the cars future value
• An existing car finance agreement has a much higher APR than you should be paying, you now wish to refinance the outstanding balance to reduce the future interest payable

Refinance can potentially save you money, contact our friendly and highly knowledgeable team now to find our more. Telephone 01635 785400

A returning Fast Car Finance client, who is a  company director who owns and operates an investment business.

Due to the industry in which he works he understood that his cash/money could be put to better use in the stock market rather than having than buying the car outright.  Hence he approached us to arrange supercar finance on this low mileage Aston Martin, which was sourced via one of his trusted contacts in the motor trade.

We have financed a number of cars for this client and having worked with us before he knew we would organise matters quickly and with our usual attention to detail.

A returning client was looking to purchase a stunning low mileage 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante V12 as a weekend/sunny day car.

Having financed his 5 previous car with Fast Car Finance, he knew who to speak to when looking to arrange Aston Martin finance.

The car was being purchased through an Aston Martin franchised dealer at a cost of £111,995 . Withthe client putting down a 10% deposit he was looking to fiannce the balance of £101,000 over 5 years with a balloon. The balloon payment at the end of the agreement allowing him to reduce his monthly repayment.

Funding was approved as proposed in a little over 5 hours,  meaning the client was soon able to take delivery of this stunning car.

A client of Fast Car Finance for over 3 years the client had recently purchased a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 for £450k out of his own funds. An entrepreneur who sought funding of £200k against the car to replenish his savings but also to undertake some significant restoration to this older classic car. Classic car financing was arranged via a regulated Hire Purchase facility of £200k which was approved over 2 years with a balloon of £200k, making his repayments interest only understanding the value of this car would only increase as a result of the work carried out on it. It won’t be long before this serial car collector will be back in contact for his next car project!

The Aston Martin DB5 commenced production in 1963 and is perhaps the best known of the various AM’s to appear in Ian Flemings movies series – James Bond. The car is probably most well remembered for its appearance in Goldfinger.

Replacing the popular DB5 the new iteration in the DB series featured an all-new 4 litre aluminium engine. Standard equipment on the DB5 included reclining seats, wool pile carpets and electric windows.

When this particular DB5 became available for sale, our client, a high net worth classic car collector knew he was investing in a piece of motoring history. With a history file to envy any other, the car has also been through an extensive restoration via the renowned RS Williams.

With a complex income structure, what our customer needed was a finance partner who could understand his intricate tax affairs and provide a bespoke finance solution. The brief provided to us was to secure a very short two-year loan term, with a large part of the loan capital deferred by way of a final balloon payment.

Fast Car Finance was able to secure used Aston Martin finance exactly on the terms that the customer required. This involved a loan of £350,000 with £250,000 of this deferred for a period of two years.

If you are looking to purchase a substantial or high value classic car and have complicated or offshore tax affairs then come and talk to us. We understand that not all of our entrepreneurial customers can demonstrate income in the usual way and we have finance partners who talk your language to arrange classic car financing that works for you.

FAST CAR FINANCE – PUTTING YOU IN THE DRIVING SEAT

Fast Car Finance arranges £100,000 equity release

When the owner of this 1970’s Aston Martin wanted to raise a significant sum of a money in a short time frame, he knew that the team at Fast Car Finance would come up with a solution.

Our equity release scheme was perfect for this and having obtained all the paperwork from the client relating to the car and its service history, we then arranged for an independent valuation to be organised. With the valuation swiftly returned to us, we were then able to advise the owner that we could advance circa 80% of that value back to him via our “sale & hire purchase back” service. In effect, the customer got to retain use and ownership, whilst giving the finance company legal title in the vehicle for the duration of the loan.

A finance proposal was then prepared and submitted to the lender, complete with a copy of our valuation for the car. This enabled the lender to agree a significant loan for £100,000, with the cash paid directly to our client following a formal inspection of the car before draw down.

Our equity release scheme allows the owners of classic and high value cars to release cash locked up in their car or wider car collection, enabling them to use the money for other projects. This may include acquiring another car, investing in a business opportunity or perhaps paying a large tax obligation that has fallen due.

We have a range of bespoke high value car finance loans, these include acquisition and re-finance (equity release). Get in touch to find out more.

This stunning Aston Martin Vanquish and its owner were already known to the team at Fast Car Finance as we had originally arranged the finance for the customer to buy the car.

Having recently made an arrangement to settle the final lump sum payment due of £20,000 on the original Aston Martin car loan that we had facilitated, the customer approached us again to see if we could reimburse him the funds he had paid out. With Christmas approaching and other projects looming, the monies would be put to better use.

We were only to happy to help and this was simply a case of securing an equity release against the car (one known to us), very straightforward given the car was still worth well in excess of the loan sum sought.

We organised for an up to date valuation on the car with the new finance company, then prepared the necessary documentation to allow the finance company to forward the loan proceeds directly to the customers bank account. We even drove to meet the customer personally in the run up to the festive season, thus ensuring he had the funds in his bank account before Christmas.

Born in the 70’s – our customer already owns a Ferrari and wanted to add to his small but growing collection.   Although the car is quite ‘long in the tooth’ in the world of Lenders,  we put a residual value balloon payment on the agreement.  In doing so we achieved what the customer thought we wouldn’t be able to – we  massively reduced his expected monthly repayments. A job well done.

This customer’s first experience of Fast Car Finance was only 3 weeks before!   He came back to us saying that we had made the process of financing a car ‘too easy’ and wanted our help to change his weekend car.   He was thrilled to bits – with   2 car purchases completed within 3 weeks, despite his slightly challenging credit history, who can blame him for being happy!

When this City Financier had found his dream Aston Martin, all he needed was to secure a car loan to complement his large deposit, so enabling him to buy the car. What he hadn’t anticipated – as a foreign national living and working in the UK, was the fact that he had a limited credit history and a foreign driver’s licence.   Rising to the challenge, Fast Car Finance quickly secured him luxury car finance via a high street Lender and at a  competitive APR.
