    I have an app and can see where it is parked - it's on a former airbase (I think it's a former airbase) belonging to co-part. It hasn't moved for 10 days.

    According to the app 'everything is fine' - lol

    You can usually settle the finance after a few days at a cost of a few pennies interest and still get the benefits/better price for taking the finance. Obviously you will need to read over the t/c's but don't get hung up on not taking it due to the rate etc. you may be able to haggle some free mats/ tank of fuel etc with the salesman if you take the finance and then simply pay it off in full once the deal is done.

    OP, if you want to save a bit of cash, I use my mobile phone as a dash cam. Obviously no rear view camera, but I've been using a phone for the last 5 years and no issues. Bought a dash cradle for my phone, Free app and I'm on Android. There may eventually be some incidents where it won't help of course.
