How Lee from Nottingham got his dream car with Carmoola

Lee from Nottingham has always put the work in and dreamed bigger. He’s always loved cars, but his yellow Toyota Supra? That’s the one he never thought he’d own, especially through car finance in Nottingham.

Thanks to Carmoola, he didn’t just get his dream car; he owned the whole process too.

More than just a set of wheels, the Supra is a symbol of freedom, reward, and joy. Weekend road trips with his wife, moments of quiet pride, and the thrill of knowing he made it happen. This is Lee’s story.

Lee’s experience reflects his own personal journey with Carmoola.

What made you choose a Toyota Supra?

Lee: “It’s always been a dream to have a little sports car. A yellow one, especially. I’ve got a couple of jobs, so with decent finances coming in, I thought — one day, yeah, I’ll make it happen.”

That “one day” finally arrived with a bit of help from Carmoola. Now, every time Lee walks out to his drive or finishes a shift, he gets a reminder of what hard work and the right finance partner can unlock.

Lee: “When I get to work at night, I spend a few minutes just looking around it like… yeah, that’s my car. It’s a forever car for me. I think it’s going to be a future classic. I’ll keep it until I can’t physically drive anymore.”

Lee’s not new to the car game either. He’s owned a Lotus Elise and a Honda Type R, but the Supra? 

Lee: “This is absolutely the pick of the bunch.”

Why did you choose Carmoola?

Lee: “I think Carmoola chose me, to be fair. My credit rating wasn’t fantastic, so I wasn’t sure what I’d be able to do. But you guys stepped in and helped me finance the car.”

Lee didn’t go through a long-winded process or a traditional lender. He did it through the Carmoola app. Everything was set before he even arrived at the dealership.

Lee: “I didn’t have to do too much. Just answered a few questions and then job done. You guys had already paid, and it was a done deal before I got there.”

What was the application process like with Carmoola?

Lee: “Dead easy. So simple. Didn’t take long. Just a fantastic, easy process.”

He spent a few weeks researching the right car. But when it came to finance, Carmoola made it fast.

Lee: “It was a smooth sort of transaction. You kept me informed all the way. Even now, I get reminders about my payment dates, which is brilliant. You’ve always kept in touch. That’s what stood out. It’s just been a great process.”

Lee: “I had to go to Sussex to purchase it. So, it was around about a four-and-a-half, five-hour trip to get down there and then come straight back with it.”

The drive back (in an automatic car for the first time) was both exciting and nerve-wracking. But as soon as Lee saw the Supra on the forecourt, he knew.

Lee: “No. Just saw it. That was it. Yeah. Yeah, I’m having that. Thank you very much.”

Where have you taken it?

Lee: “Yeah, we went to York for the races, had a great day. Then straight to Shropshire, stayed at Henlle Heights holiday lodge, and had a day out at Chester Zoo. ”

That road trip cemented the Supra as more than a flashy car. It became part of their memories.

Lee: “We’ve got some lovely pictures and made great memories. It’s been fun. We like to travel around the country rather than go abroad, and this is exactly the kind of car we wanted to do that in. A nice car to travel England in.”

Lee: “It's a two-seater, so we can't get any more people in it. But obviously got to fit all [my wife’s] luggage in it!”

What surprised you most about Carmoola?

Lee: “[Carmoola] was just so easy. The whole thing, start to finish. And the customer service, you’ve always kept me informed.”

It’s those human touches that made the experience more than transactional.

Lee: “It’s just been a great company to use to finance my car.”

Would you recommend Carmoola?

Lee: “Anybody and everybody, basically. If someone asked me about car finance, I’d say Carmoola. It’s just been so easy. You kept me informed. I got my dream car. Brilliant.”

Lee’s story proves: the right car finance changes everything.

Lee doesn’t just drive a Toyota Supra, he owns every moment. From the roar of the engine to quiet driveway pride, every trip feels earned.

With Carmoola, it wasn’t just about buying a car. He backed himself. And that’s a ride worth taking.
