Best way to buy a new or nearly new car...

nitsuanomis

Hello,

I am looking to buy a new or nearly new car in the next few months and wondered if anyone has any good recommendations on interest free deals out there?

Would also be interested in personal contract purchase or leasing options, perhaps even with maintenance, if anyone has any recommendations?

All thoughts and alternatives welcome!

Thank you in advance,

Simon

Don't get hung up on 0% deals look at total amount payable.

Leasing was great before the crunch and currency devaluation. Thre will be deals out there but in most cases just now buying will be cheaper. The best leasing deals will be on run out models (ie about to be replaced) or unpopular cars.

If you have any cash in a savings account and with inflation at 10% (oops 3%) pay cash if you can (or as much as you can)

You drive the car, not the deal, so don't be too obsessed with the finance.

Most owners - particularly happy ones - can't remember what they paid within a few months of buying.

Sort out the car that's right for you first, and let the finance fall into place afterwards.

Agreed, the 0% deals are almost always on over priced cars that are hard to sell by normal methods.

Just to annoy you I googled Honda 0% deals.

There are loads.:rotfl:

Sadly they are all for Honda bikes.:(

Best way?

0% credit card, and get yourself down to the like of Motorpoint.

£6000 off the price of a car trumps any finance deal.

Not sure landing yourself with a dodgy import or ex hire car is worth it tbh :rotfl:

Bah! Think of the savings

Then again, I never spend more than 5 grand on a car so it's academic really!
