    Tbh why not just admit you can't afford this car at this time and either stick with what you have or change the kind of car you want

    The finance rate is a special offer, the car is already heavily discounted, your car isnt likely to make what they are offering - given it will go to auction

    They are not going to cut the rate, or increase the trade in value

    You will be able to get something like a fiat, citroen, renault etc for the money you do have

    Theres not a lot of point in you continuing to post though, as your completely ignoring everyones advice and comments and are still deluding yourself that this fiesta is worth more than a grand

    You dont half make some idiotic posts dont you?? Looking back through your post history has made me laugh.... Man of the world :rolleyes:

    How can you say i have been ignoring everyones posts? I have been having a good discussion about cars and financing with Kez100 most of the day!

    If you havent got anything constructive to say, why are you still viewing this thread? You have already said i cant afford this car, you have also said i am valuing my car at more than its worth, which i have taken on board.

    You dont have to keep on repeating yourself.

    I personally don't like the Yaris... its such a small car for what I think is a lot of money.

    I personally think the Fiesta offers a lot better value for money, but then most people (not necessarily those above) are on the "you can't beat Japanese cars" bandwaggon at the moment.

    (G/F has a 57 reg 1.4 Fiesta Zetec Climate with sports and tech pack from brand new... lovely little car, goes well and looks fantastic!

    Yeh, my G/F isnt keen on the Yaris, but does like the Fiesta. I think the Yaris is a lot of money for what it is but i just like something about it!

    Fiesta on the other hand looks a brilliant car. I have had the old style Fiesta, and the Fiesta what i have now and i have never had any problems with them. I think the Fiesta is the one for me.

    The Bristol Street Motors price is very good for the Fiesta Style at the moment, if they can beat the online brokers without any negotiation at all then it must be a good deal. When we got the g/f's fiesta, they wouldn't get anywhere near the online brokers price and so we walked away and got it online.

    OP, are you certain that the £6495 includes metalic paint, I seriously doubt it will, that is a great price and will be just for the standard spec car, metalics are always extra....

    No i forgot to mention that its an extra £350 for the metallic paint which i dont mind, as i would have to have it panther black :D

    The salesman worked my payments out to be this:

    Deposit - £2300
    Monthly Payment - £204 over 24 months.

    Deposit - £2200
    Monthly payment - £209 over 24 months.

    Just wondering, if there are heavily discounted deals on the forecourt of a known dealer difficult to do business with, is there a new shape in the offing?

    Yeh but how many months is that over? Im not going to pay 3k at the end of a term to keep my car. I will pay near 2300 deposit at the start.












    But, erm... 2300 plus the 800 allowance on your PX is 3100... ;):p




    Ooooh also, for just over 5000 you can get yourself a 2007 56 reg Fiesta Style Climate with circa 10,000 miles on...
