We'd consider this a sensible use of credit, as long as a few guidelines are taken into account. Always check the true cost of borrowing the money. Find out the actual credit cost to any deal. In the case of a car, there are sometimes zero per cent credit offers available, but not always on the most popular cars. A plain simple loan is often the best bet, so that you are, effectively, a cash buyer for your purchase and are in the position to take advantage of any discounts on offer.

If you have no history of credit - possibly through working abroad or simply because "the other half" has always handled the financial side of things -you could face a few problems when applying for a loan. Even a couple of credit cards, used and paid off regularly, will be all you need to get a good credit rating. When you do apply for any type of loan, your lender will automatically check your credit history and it's up to you to prove your reliability.
When you're in the market for a loan, don't take it for granted that the one offered by a seller is the one for you. Unless there's an unusually good offer available, the best advice would be to have a look on the internet. That's where the best deals are to be found. Find a broker who'll search out the best deal from a wide range of lenders and come up with the right one for you.
