Sounds like a good offer. What dealer did you get the quote from?0

Hang on:
£10062-£1950 = £8112.
£8112 + £609.88 = £8721.88
Looks like you've lost £20 there, your post says £8741.88
Not much, but it's there.0 -
Sorry that £20 has been accounted for i just didn't add it in, its part of the cost of them setting up the finance agreement and something else. Sorry.0

That looks like a good deal, looking online the 1.25 zetec 3dr are about £13000, add in £500 for the paint and £100 for the wheel, less your £1700 discount is £11,900, so you've negotiated £1850 off it, well done. I take it this is new and not pre reg etc?
You have finance deposit and deposit/px'd are there both paid by you?0 -
The £1k deposit was from me and £950 was added by the finance company.0

Basically, you are paying £3612 for two years' ownership of the Fiesta, or £1800 a year.
It's a reasonable deal, I would say.0 -
Worth getting a quote on the Ecoboost, as it's free to tax, slightly more economical and better future values.
Through a broker they are around £10,700.0
