If people are so bothered about a fiver a week then it's silly getting a turbo hot hatch in the first place isn't it really, lets be honest.

I can see your point but for me, that 5 quid a week adds up to a 'free' drive to work for a week of every month.

Works out at around 25p an hour rise. You're almost right, I'd probably resign through feeling so insulted.

The more i look at the deals the more i come round to thinking its actually quite a decent deal for some people.
Would be ideal for my brother, he bought an astra coupe that was under 1yr old, cost him about £12-13k, its now worth about £500-600 and over the years he has had to spend out money on it, probably £3k easy, he must of had it about 8yrs now.
For him, who doesn't modify his cars, just drives them and likes a nice car, i think it would ideal.
He is looking at cars at the moment for £8-9k, i wonder what they will be worth in 3yrs time and what bills he inccurs.
Also mad to think if i gave up weed i could have a corsa VXR AND a Delorean on the drive

Weed costs you more a month than the total value of your car

If you need to make savings that small, surely it's make more sense to NOT look at getting a Corsa VXR...

Its about saving money at the end of the day. I could go out now and buy one but i choose not too. She wants a new car im not going to buy her one.

Ling is my hero. Pulling up in a yellow tank and shouting 'Oi, Bannentyne!' on the dragons den thing had me in stitches. I bet she's a facking awesome boss to have.

I wouldn't be too sure about that, from the sounds of it she can get a right stink on sometimes

So in total its cost him £15k over 8 years, or £1800 a year, so £300 a year less than this deal, not bad.
