What's the process of conditional sales?

Conditional sale is about paying for a car in installments while you use it, with ownership transfer happening once all payments are made. The process starts with a cash deposit or part-exchange value, then you make regular monthly payments over a fixed term—typically three to five years. Only after the final payment do you own the car. This structure fits the described scenario because it combines an upfront payment with ongoing monthly payments and ends in ownership, unlike paying the full amount upfront, leasing (which doesn’t grant ownership during the term), or rent-to-own schemes that may lack a defined end date for taking ownership.
