  • What a genius. Doesn't know it's fraudulent to lie to get a loan and gets into 20k debt on "35k" cash in hand salary.

    OMG i never i was going to do it and whats wrong with getting a loan for a car for 20k when i can afford the repayments , i also get another 20k a year in bonuses which i dont declare you need to get into the real world nobody cares .
    I earn my money and i spend it .
  • Well how much do you earn? £55k or £35k?

    Borrowing £20k is spending someone elses money and if you want to borrow their money you will need to jump through their hoops. One of which is not lying on application forms.

    Yes tax and and insurance is paid on my 35k, and whats wrong with a 20k car i have had a 55k porsche in the past 90% of cars on the road today are either leased or on finance , i dont haver a mortgage or kids so thats my pleasure i work 7 days a week go on holiday 4 times a yea.r

    Off topic but -
    I don't think its anything like 90% of all cars on the road. I understood that its something like 2/3 of new cars, but of course those new cars only make up a minority of cars on the road. Given the average life span of a car and of finance deals then I'd be surprised if more than 25% of cars on the road are leased or have financed secured against them.
