They matched the best rates available for personal loans within 5 minutes. When I told BMW this they offered to match it - despite having told me this was 'impossible' an hour before.

The current best rate on moneysupermarket.com for a £25k personal loan is 6.3% so that should be your target!
How do you approach Lombard though if you are buying a car privately (not through business)? When I enquired about using them for car finance they said they only deal with businesses and self employed. Do you have a contact name and number by any chance?
