Car Finance 247 Highlights the UK CapitalsCar Finance Application Differences

( UK) 27 June 2011 The data looked at 1,670 towns and cities and showed that London had the highest amount of applications for car finance (including bad credit car finance) in the last 12 months.

The top ten towns / cities for car finance applications were:

1. London
2. Glasgow
3. Manchester
4. Birmingham
5. Liverpool
6. Leeds
7. Bristol
8. Sheffield
9. Nottingham
10. Leicester

Edinburgh ranked 14th and Cardiff came in 16th in the list of towns and cities.

The places where there were the least amount of applications were Padstow, St. Albans, Ambleside in Cumbria and Loftus in North Yorkshire.

The top five counties were:

1. Greater London
2. West Yorkshire
3. Lancashire
4. Lanarkshire
5. Kent

Commenting on the data, Louis Rix, Director of carfinance247.co.uk, says: “The figures were quite surprising, bearing in mind that London motorists not only have the Congestion Charge to contend with but the third busiest roads in Europe too.(London recently came third in a poll of Europe’s busiest roads behind Brussels and Warsaw)*

He adds: "There is a big gap between London in percentage car finance application terms over the next largest city of Glasgow. This could indicate that Londoners may feel able to afford to take on debt to buy an updated car, while Glaswegians with half as many applications, might feel they can get more out of their existing vehicles."
