A car is a liability, avoid it if you can.
Getting access to finance is all about repayment capacity, assuming you have a job then start saving, your bank statements will show a history of being well capable of managing money and living within budget, you do not need to have borrowed previously in order to get a loan, the main criteria are ...
Repayment capacity - can you afford the loan based on current or projected income.
Gearing - how much are you putting towards the overall costs, i.e, if a car costs €10k and you have €3 k then you need €7k loan or 70 % gearing which is acceptable, 100% is not.
Security - any security available, maybe a personal guarantee from another person, maybe no security is required at all.
Performance - how has your account been managed, any items bounced, good track record of savings etc.
You stick to this and you will be fine, good luck !
