    I think you are making the right decision.

    Back in November I almost spent over £20k on a car (courtesy of MBNA). In the end I decided against it because the thought of all that depreciation during a recession was too much for me.

    Hoping to buy the same car for substantially less in about a years time ;)

    yer.... when i went to ford and they only offerd me 5k

    and said the extra 2k could be carried over, but my total intrest would be 4.9%

    but id be paying £249 a MONTH which is a big jump from £149

    i wonder if i was sold a loan or if its hpi???? im not sure???? does anone know????

    after 3-4 years i only ow about £2,500

    so im sure my car would be worth that after 3 years so i may wait till then....
