Been to look at a E46 BMW 318ci today but only way I can afford it is to take a loan or BMW finance scheme!

Like the car but, I see this as buying a car thats not going to be yours for the duration of the finance period!

Always in my eyes going to be owned by the dealer or bank!

Parents would lend me the extra money to buy the car but again be in debt to the old folks is something I'd rather not be in!

Would you:

Take out a loan
Take finance from dealer
Take interest free loan (bank of mum and dad)
Keep looking and saving for another car

being in debt to the parents is better than being in debt to the bank/garage

but dont take finance/a loan on a 318, its only worth it if you get something that you'll still like in 3 or 4 years

if taking finance go for a 3 year deal with a GMFV at th end.... its a guarenteed MINIMUM future valve....

When buying a BMW or any premium brand car alway haggle.... as a rule they put 3-4k front end margin on their cars....

i get sooooo many BMW, LAND ROVER, MERC customers in negative equity its unreal.....

always ask the flat rate and not the APR the flat rate should be about 5% from a garage... sometime they do special deals but expect to pay a flat rate of 5%
