New car Deals "Just Add Fuel"

Options
Hi

I am looking to buy a new car in the next couple of months. I am wanting a small hatchback, something like a Clio or a fiesta. I am wanting to take out a finance package, with a maximum monthly cost of around £180-£200, and the deposit around the same amount.

I have seen adverts on the TV offering "Just Add Fuel" deals. Does anyone know which companies are currently offering these deals, and what the monthly payment would be?

    The biggest catch with the Just Add Fuel kind of packages is that the included mileage is well below average. Make sure you check as it can be very expensive if you go over the limit.

    Peugeot I believe, the one with the jigsaw piece being added as the filler cap.

    Don't know how much you know/don't know about cars but these are going to work out comparatively expensive total cost packages.

    Deciding budget, obtaining finance yourself, haggling for a cash purchase, shopping around for servicing will save you money just depends whether you want to do that. Insurance bundles might not always work out beneficial in the long run either.

    As the PP said watch out for the mileage cost if you exceed the contracted inclusive amounts. A bit like a penal phone tariff. Nothing like having a nice motor if you can't afford to use it for the extras.
