0% Finance for car purchase
I'm looking to change my car and visited a large multi site franchise and found one I was interested in with £9999 on the ticket.
They are offering 0% finance over up to 5 years on the car, however I have already sorted a loan at 6.2% over 4 years to finance a purchase.
How are they able to offer 0%?, where are they making their money?
Should I just finance it with my loan? Am I looking a gift horse in the mouth or is my natural pessimism justified?

The finance is already priced into the car.
If you have cash (which you will have if your getting finance elswhere) ask for at least 10% discount on the car.
If they refuse walk away.0
