    So, but have you got any other quotes?

    1. Never settle with 1 quote on something so significant, the salesman will make £1,700 on that deal alone.


    2. Use the finance to get a lower price and pay off within the cooling off period, they won't get their finance commission. Oh dear...


    3. It is the same in other industries such as automotive, where a lot of people are signing up to PCPs to get bigger discounts or "free options" and then paying off the finance within the first 14 days which you can do by law with a small amount of interest to pay.
