Apply for a loan if your unemployed?

My dad currently goes to Job Center to look for jobs. He earns a job seekers allowance but also has a temporary job at a bakery. We desperately need a new car, the one we have at the moment is dying on us. My dad was looking through cars and the Ford S-Max took his fancy, which is around 8,000 used on Auto Trader. So is it possible for him to apply for a loan or does he have to wait?

He could not even pay the first monthly payment.
Much less car insurance.
How about the gas for it?

People need to start thinking of the future.

To get a loan you need an income
plus he has no way of paying off a loan of £8K at the moment
He needs to look at cheap cars, maybe at auctions and buy what he can afford

No, your dad will not qualify for a loan from anywhere, he doesn't get enough to pay back a loan, very sorry… Em… Your dad has declared his job to the jobcentre hasn't he?
Make sure your dad isn't taken in by one of those online loan sites, these charge a large fee to find loans for the unemployed… These sites are a rip off

No job= no loan

Always possible to apply… But getting a loan is different. He will not get a loan very easy if at all.
