been offered a finance deal of 350 a month with 130 a month cash back paid into my account same day as the finance comes out,

this is for 60 months and cash back is for a year, been told to finance next year to get payments down,

is this a good idea or has any one had a similar deal?

    I would avoid. How can they make money giving you £130 amonth back? Means they are overcharging for the reat of the finance to make money.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Total repayments £19440

    I expect they are making plenty.

    Depends on the vehicle.

    Thats my point. A loan with a decent rate would wipe out all profit with the rebate. Hence they overcharge you, give you alittle back in yr one, then coin it in in years 2,3,4 and 5,
