    my monthly payments were £382.82. would have been cheaper if i didn't get conned.

    the car i picked was £8995, but then arnold clark told me the sold it to someone else, and to make up for it they would do the blue mini for the same price then add in 3 extras, like warranty etc, i really have no clue waht i paid, it was my dad that was like take it, its a good offer, i guess you don't realsie you got conned, and i bet its happened to loads of people and they will never know ! i only knew as i paid my car of early, and had to sit and work out the costs, why the loan company wanted more.

    then i went back to arnold clark ,they claimed they never offered that, and had to cancel within 6weeks, so yea landed myself a different colour car, and an extra £800 on my loan
