Financing an SSR
Modern classics are valued on condition, mileage and history rather than on age alone. Low mileage original cars are treated very differently from well used ones.
The SSR was built 2003 to 2006 in United States and is recorded with a gasoline:; 2003–2004: 5.3 l lm4 v8; 2005–2006: 6.0 l ls2 v8 , styled by Design Manager:; Brian Baker; Design Director:; Bill Davis; Concept Designer:; Doug Ungemach; Lead Exterior Designer:; Glen Durmisevich; Lead Interior Designer:; Andre Hudson. Those details matter to a lender only insofar as they support a valuation: what is being funded is a specific car with a specific history, not a model line.
A company usually takes hire purchase or lease purchase on a car like this. A certified high net worth buyer borrows under the exemption. An owner who already has the SSR in the garage can raise money against it instead. In each case the lender wants an independent valuation, evidence of condition and a clear view of how the borrowing is repaid.

Questions
Can my company buy a Chevrolet SSR on finance?
Yes. A limited company or LLP can buy on hire purchase or lease purchase, with the agreement in the company name. It is not regulated consumer credit, whatever the amount. How the car is treated for tax depends on how the business uses it, so speak to your accountant.
Is an SSR too old to finance?
Age on its own is rarely the obstacle. Specialist lenders assess the car, its provenance and an independent valuation rather than applying a cut-off year, so a 2003 to 2006 car can often be financed, subject to status and lender criteria.
Can I raise money against an SSR I already own?
Often, yes, and the car normally stays with you. The lender takes security over it, and how much can be raised depends on the valuation and on how readily that model sells. We arrange this for companies and for certified high net worth owners.
I want an SSR for personal use. Can you help?
That would be regulated consumer credit, which requires FCA authorisation we do not hold. Send the enquiry anyway: it is handled through one of our regulated partners, and we tell you which firm before anyone contacts you.
Finance on this page is arranged for limited companies and LLPs, for sole traders and partnerships borrowing over £25,000 wholly or predominantly for business purposes, and for individuals borrowing over £60,260 who have signed a high net worth statement. Send us the details either way: cases outside that are handled through one of our regulated partners, and we tell you who before anyone contacts you.
