    Hi BOB and all..your walk sounded refreshing yesterday..it's nice to chill out sometimes.
    Hope MR B has finished cleaning that car and that he does hand it in tomorrow.

    He has to arrange for it going back and hasn't done that bit yet....plus in reality we need two cars if i am on supply, so he has to organise another one as i am damned if he is ruining my car like he did with the other one.
    Watch this space :cool:?
    Even if he can arrange reduced finance as an alternative, what to do eh?

    Why are you getting rid of it if you need two cars?...or will it be cheaper for him to get about on a bus etc.

    Breakdown of car finance at the moment.

    Car finance owing-£4,200 at 10% APR finishes in Jan 2011, £201 per month.

    Nissan Primera has now got 86,000 miles on clock

    It uses about £45-£50 per week in petrol.

    Total cost per month without car tax etc is roughly around the £400 mark.
    with MOT,services and car tax looking at anothe £25 a month on top and another £28 per month insurance. So his car realistically costs £450 per month to run.

    If he refinances it will be left paying over a longer period and car worth nowt, but can hand it back in and hopefully get a medium sized car. Trouble is he will be looking at 19.9% APR with something like carcraft as he is a bit lax. That's if they give him finance!

    They have a deal £99 deposit and £99 per month for first year, then roughly £135 per month for last four years.

    First year would be £150 running costs per month finance, inurance, MOT and tax. On a medium car would be looking at about £35 per week petrol £140 on petrol.
    Total running costs would then be £290 saving about £160 a month.

    Would that be worth going for? Or look for a banger and fingers crossed?
