Last Minute Finance Change

  • An ex demo will be used and may have much higher interest to pay, so can be far more expensive on finance.

    You're right so maybe a 1-year old. In reality I'm suggesting if OP is quibbling over £40 out of £440 a month, a new £k35 car isn't that sensible.

    If an extra £40 a month is too much in your circumstances then you have a couple of options:

    1. Back out of the deal and accept you've lost £500
    2. Negotiate with the dealer (I doubt they'll shift as they can just as easily sell the car to another person for the original price)
    3. Carry on as is, review your other monthly outgoings and try to reduce them a bit, and hope you can meet the payments for the next 3 years.

    £40 a month, £10 a week, whats that? 2 MacDonalds? 3 Costas'? 3 Tescos meal deals? if your gonna struggle paying an extra £40 on £440 you can't afford £440 a month or £400 quid.
