dealership on ch 4

A death blue MINI (one of the aspirational, Beetle, MINI, Fiat 500s that sell themselves despite their issues) for daft money and people buying after, "hard negotiation" by pointing them at the weekly/4 weekly/monthly payments. The good old days are back.

Beginning to wish i'd watch more of this now, I saw the about 5 mins of it and thought I was going to have to punch the screen :rotfl:

Well the total cost is what you pay so interest does matter, especially if you see a high APR.

Interest does matter, and of course you should avoid any high APR's, but the car is £7000, not £9500.

Maybe the buyer could have got a better loan rate from the bank, but there is no such thing as 'actual' 0% finance, certainly not on used cars.

I think it was metallic, rather than 'doom' to be fair

They wanted the car for £6,500. In truth they wanted to pay £150 a month. These are two different negotiations. I missed the deposit part, but this makes the situation worse and shows they didn't know what they wanted or how much they were actually paying, a salesman's dream

With a £500 deposit they paid £9,500 for a car they wanted for £6,500. If they wanted the car for £6,500 and £150 a month with a £500 deposit there should be 40 payments, not 60. Only possible with 0% apr, but that's the basic maths they needed before entering into negotiations.

The Range Rover dreamer was the same. No idea what his negotiation position was.

And the thought he had positive equity on his car but in fact was about £3K5 negative. Quoted £3K5 for insurance on the RR which he could not afford. Dreamer. Loved the one of the closing shots comments to his girlfriend "would be good in winter".

Interesting that you didn't question the Fiat or Citroen...yes, I think you do need to keep up

Hey -- I like Kias, and even I didn't think anything other than that they are Ronseal cars.

Fiat and Citroen -- yeah, they've been polishing turds for years. Hyundai-Kia? Well there's the old Coupe, and....
