J.T 39 Posted December 8, 2019 He's a spring chicken I've done deals for people in their 80's, my eldest finance customer is 86! Finance companies are not allowed to discriminate against people because of their age these days, so as long as they fit the other criteria they should be accepted.

trade vet 701 Posted December 8, 2019 True story from 2 years ago.I know of someone whose elderly father in law was a very successfull and wealthy guy.He was mid eighties and in poor health but still doing a bit driving.One day he calls to see his son who is shocked to see he has a brand new car,it is some sort of Rolls Coupe.The old guy the passes away a week later.So the son is left the new Rolls,how much are they £250k ? It turned out that the old guy probably as a joke had taken out a finance agreement for a big lump which the son had to settle off . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he can but doesn’t want to shell out the lump sum? Will try to be (diplomatically) nosey Mine was on a £4K V50 which 7 months in he tried to back because it required an air con compressor. Never contacted me, went straight to CB whom backed me. Apparently, the fault had been there since day 1 but he didn’t notice (even through the heatwave summer) and never made any contact, despite me having done one warranty repair after 1 month without quibble (genuine fault with DPF) - strange.

NOACROSS 414 Posted December 8, 2019 Yes, why not. You only live once. I guess the finance companies (well some of them) have an age limit as the risk of them not being alive next year/four years/end of term is higher. Have pinged it up to Mallard, so we’ll see tomorrow. Just remembered-I did have one guy (69) get finance on a Jag last year. He popped his clogs before making the third payment. I did bid on the car with the finance company, but didn’t win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pension income should be a reliable revenue source, anyone can be made redundant tomorrow but that don't apply here. NB:- I'm assuming pension (s) being the state and a decent private one too. You're spot on. They have also generally paid off their mortgages too so have lot's of lovely equity in their houses, and plenty of disposable income. The only real outgoings they have is having lunch at garden centers or National Trust properties, and buying Werthers Originals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
