Private vehicle finance with Basslows
Found the perfect car from a private seller or a friend? Securing funding for a private sale can often be trickier than buying from a dealership. That is where we step in.
What is private vehicle finance?
Normally, banks are hesitant to finance private deals due to the risk of fraud or mechanical issues. Basslows removes this friction. We verify the seller, inspect the vehicle, and handle the secure transfer of funds, so you get the car and the finance without the risk.
