Do I need car finance?
Hi, Having seen all the reports about large car inventories and discounts available I was thinking about buying a car. I have never bought one before - do I need to get financing? I do have enough savings to buy one for £7000-8000 outright - would it be more advisable to get some sort of financing? Many thanks for any tips

However I'm looking into purchasing a diesel car/van ( i have an offer on a van at the moment) would the same rules apply to a diesel. Thanks…

Car sharing
Evening all, I wonder if someone could give me some advice, I get a lift to work with a "friend" the journey is 63 miles each way and they drive a 1.3 ka.
