Thanks Paul,

Ha, no lottery win here, though I might actually play tomorrow.

If I was single with no kids, I'd change a car every year...lol

I just think 3yr is too long and shorter options too expensive, so it seems.

I'll willing to take a hit of no more than maybe £2k, subject to approval from the boss (aka the mrs). Which means I'll have to spend much more than that to get her onside.

I might approach a Lexus dealer first and see what they put in front of me.

Thanks
Mark

No probs Mark


Sounds like you're going in with your eyes wide open and being objective (something I haven't always done in the past!!)

Hi Neil,

I pay £250/month and put in £3k deposit, therefore I have paid so far about £8,750.

Thanks

What was the total cost of the car including the finance? You can VT when you get to 50%

Why don't you actually consider leasing rather than finance. If you're planning on changing regularly and prefer shorter terms then I'd suggest leasing is probably better for you.

Just to add the total amount of finance will be printed on your agreement.

Entirely depends. I've been quoted much cheaper PCP deals direct from a dealer than lease deals. Same the other way. Don't rule either out.

If you always compare specific cars but most successful leasers chase the lease deal, not the car.
