Five top tips to help first time buyers of classic cars

For many motoring enthusiasts, the first purchase of a classic car can be a memory that you’ll remember forever. Whether you’re purchasing your first Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini, the buzz you’ll get when you’re in the dealership and signing that first deal will be indescribable.

Unfortunately, even the most finance-savvy can fall prey to the excitement and adrenaline and don’t fully weigh up the options for classic car financing. Many accept the classic car financing rates provided by the dealership, not knowing that it’s possible to arrange car finance in principle (as you would with a mortgage), allowing you to act quickly if a car comes up at auction that you want to bid for, or if a dealership has a car suddenly available for sale.

Here, Fast Car Finance managing director Andy Wise and business development manager Steve Kayll discuss some of the common mistakes they’ve seen first time buyers of classic cars make and the simple things you need to look out for as you begin the incredible journey into classic car ownership.
