Does this sound like a good deal?

But its from a Nissan dealership so comes with 2 years warranty, RAC cover, Free MOT's for life, £40 of free fuel
It sounds like you are convincing yourself it's a good deal, if a new one is £24K then I would go for the new one at the little bit more, free MOT??? Here is the con, the test is free, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will find expensive things to do on it, which will soon soak up that £50 test fee.0 -
Seems like a very expensive way of buying car.0

You could lease one for less than £200/month 3+35 and 10,000 miles.0

Amount financed £14600
That doesn't sound like a good deal however you want to flower it up.
Does nobody save up and buy a car any more, no wonder theres so many people in financial trouble.
You may not want to read or consider this if it isn't what you want to hear, but you do not save money by spending more than you can afford to buy outright.
If you want a newer car and don't mind paying through the nose for it then by all means do it, and you sound like you've convinced yourself, but it isn't and never will be a good deal.0 -

At the end of the day buying on finance is never going to be a good deal.
The fact you have £1600 negative equity makes it look worse.
If its what you want and are happy with the repayments, then go for it and enjoy your new car.0 -
