Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted January 2, 2019 Hi There, Early December made my application, I know some of you guys have become registered, The web site says 6months upto, This cant be true in the real world surely thats worst of the worst case scenario, What was your own experience about time scale, Keen to start selling finance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted January 2, 2019 6 to 8 weeks in reality. They always say UP TO 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Horgan 564 Posted January 2, 2019 4 weeks to 12 weeks seems to be the norm that I've heard of . 6 Months is the worst case , depends if they have all the info correct on the application . Watch out for a rouge call too asking about Finance , that's the way they check sometimes , good plan is to completely deny ALL finance enquiries till you get your number . I had a call and 20 mins later the number came via email , they were testing my integrity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will receive a FIRM Number when they send acceptance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Ayers 171 Posted January 3, 2019 So you can hit the ground runing have you spoken to any Finance companies yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted January 3, 2019 close motor finance is my preferred option, not going to set any records if they do take my business on board but i understand from some on here that they are acceptable to small volumes from smaller outlets, 2018 i never mentioned finance unless they did and I recon i was asked to arrange finance 15 times, I hope to be doing a fair amount area work in west mids is not really wealthy and cars i have are £4000-£8000 so hopefully i can get a decent pen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
