  • Okay well hope i get accepted then, It never said anything about incase finace is rejected etc. It was just the monthly payments etc. But I'm sure there is a 7 day cool down peroid to opt out.

    There's a 14 day cooling off period for finance. There's no such cooling off period for an in-store purchase, unless the T&Cs of the purchase (not finance) contract allow for such cancellation.

    That must be the bit of the contract you read. You'll be fine then.

    Have you visited the dealership in person?

    If not you should be able to cancel the deal under Consumer Contract Regulations.

    Do you know what the insurance will be on your new car? Just asking.

    A 20 year old on a £9k Audi? No more than £200 I'd have thought.

    I remember being quoted a wide range when I was a similar age. Bottom was around £700 I think and top was over £4000 :eek: - they sometimes do it if you're not their target demographic. Give a very inflated price so you're not tempted to take it. You might not go with the cheapest (especially if they're no frills) but you're not going to go the most expensive.

    My insurance is much cheaper now. Even with a much better car :rotfl:

    No, you're paying £1,080/year for your annual insurance policy.

    You just happen to have taken a finance product that allows you to spread the cost of that thousand pound insurance.
