Loan on 7.5k was 8.4% and a higher loan would of been a higher apr.

Finance is 7%

I've got 0% finance, only way I'd have it and only available on a brand new car.

I'd rather wait and save up rather than pay a fortune off in extra interest personally....

I've got finance for mine. How the hell else do you afford a car like it otherwise? Unless you are seriously loaded off course. I sure as hell wasn't going to save up for however many years then buy it outright

As long as you can afford the repayments which I can easily then there's no problem with it. If you are going to be struggling by then I wouldn't bother. I wouldn't buy a 2nd hand car on finance.

I sell finance every day.. For all the people above saying that there % is 4.5% or 7% etc, its not.. Finance is done using flat rates so in reality the APR would be closer to 9% or 14%..

Up to you, but paying off the interest will cost you a load more than saving even a short way towards it. Say you saved £5k towards a £10k car you would obviously save half the interest.

I suppose it all depends on how much you want to borrow.....

You don't get 0% for no reason.. Most car companys will offer it but it means you pay full whack for the car whereas we can offer you a lower payment on say 4.5% flat because we can discount the car..

0% is 9 out of 10 times acomplete load of bullshit..

Ok I seriously doubt you could take that much off a car to make up the interest.

And who are 'we' btw? What company?

Yeah will cost me a load in interest. As long as I'm not paying 30% or anything daft like that (which I'm not) then I'm too fussed. I weighed up getting a loan but while the overall interest was lower it wasn't the right way to go for my situation. Not bothered about owning the car at the end either. No advantage to me. Once my lease is up I'll trade it in for another new one most likely.

It depends really on your circumstances. Even if you are loaded, plenty money in the bank your sometimes better off getting a loan, if you bank a lot of cash you'll get a better loan deal from the bank. If you finance a £20k car on a low apr loan you'll make more money with your £20k invested rather than a big hole in your bank account. I usually pay cash for my cars, however there is a threashold where the table turns & you'd be pouring away money buying outright.

I work for Arnold Clark.. Were thousands off the vauxhall list prices so we can easily match and beat a 0% Vauxhall deal..

i think you need to recalculate that as 210 x 36 = way less then 11200
