Hello, I'm an international PhD student at UCD. I'm fully funded with 24000 euro/yr. Hence, I have a monthly income. Could I buy a car by PCP?
Hi Longnan,
You'll have to talk to the dealer(s) you're thinking about buying a car through. The rules vary from lender to lender, but they may require you to be a permanent resident in Ireland, never mind the fact that you'll need a sizeable desposit up front. I'm not convinced it would be the most economically sensible way to get a new car, either, as you'll presumably be giving it back at the end of the plan.

Ask us anything motoring related and please provide as much information as possible so we can give you the most accurate advice.
