Can new residents get car finance?

Hi there. Can a new resident in Ireland buy a car on finance in Ireland on arrival?

Our answer:

Hi Matthew,

It's likely that you'll find it difficult for a variety of reasons, not least your credit history in Ireland and your 'time at address', but I don't believe there are generally rules that state you must have lived in Ireland for a minimum period. Give a few large dealerships a call to sound them out.
