Mmmmmmmmm VXR, Please tell me you had the nice blue.0

Yes :P Arden Blue they call it. I was going to go for the black Sapphire because I like that as well but they didn't have any as stock, all they had was Arden Blue or the Power Red, so I opted for the blue. Glad I did now, suddenly gone off black ones.:rotfl:"The only man who makes money from a gold rush is the one selling the shovels..."0

New car? Didn't have any in stock? I wonder how old the one your buying really is. No doubt it's been sat in a wet field for the past six months.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

Would there not be a cooling-off period whereby you can cancel the finance without penalty?#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET

I've seen it before.
They make a good profit on the finance deal, so the car is cheap. No profit on cash, so the car has to be dearer.
If the overall price is good, buy it.
Likewise the dealer though, if there's no profit for them, they can't afford to sell it you, so they'll walk away.
Mikey is right, I used to work in a Honda dealership. A car salesman (particularly new cars) will often make far more in commission from selling you a finance deal than what they actually get from selling the car. Hence why they are so pushy in offering you finance.Lack of money is the root of all evil.

Unlikely since this model is usually made to order. Perhaps only one month
And as long as it's got an 09 plate on it and under warranty, I'm not really fussed! "The only man who makes money from a gold rush is the one selling the shovels..."0 -

Hmmm thats interesting. I think you will probably be able to cancel the finance once you have picked the car up with no charges then - i shall try and investigate further. Generally HP doc's get signed on licensed premises so are not cancelleable i.e. you have no cooling off period.
Salesman sounds like a right charlie (from a business point of view).0 -
