Lady who works for us wants a Zafira auto, 3-5 years old and she wants it on finance.

She hasnt got any deposit to speak of call it 1k.

Whats the best of a bad lot out there, i dont even know where to start.

Iv already told her the usual but she is in a bit of a hole (kids, husband just left with car etc)

So she dont need the lecture she just needs the best deal with pretty much no deposit.

Fords of Winsford in Cheshire doesnt seem too bad, not sure if it is too far though.

It would seem that 0 deposit is available

edit: as with a lot of these places, they appear more expensive that other places though, which you probably already know!

I suppose she will always be better off going to the bank and getting as loan, i just wondered if anyone had noticed any particularly good special offers kicking about.

Still got that A class kicking about?

Its knackered mate and this poor sod has got 4 kids and a big dog.

I do feel sorry for her, if she had worked for us for longer i'd have sorted something out but shes only been here 6 months and i cant be arsed chasing people for money that might leave anytime.

Bit of a nightmare for her really

Monthly budget? Deposit of £1k and is term important?

Will Gill · 16 Sep 2010 at 09:01

best way is to 0% interest it on credit cards, thats my favoured method of buying everything I can't instantly afford or don't want to missus to see on my bank statement!

To Maz she wants it over 3 years i suppose. £300-£350 a month.

To Will she is in this hole because her husband has done a moonlight with the car. Im not sure how she stands with credit cards, and probably wont want the hassle of transferring from card to card to keep the interest down for 3 years.

Iv lent her my Transit at the moment but its not ideal

With the ban bet she was hoping for the Bentley

For people like this I always suggest just 'putting up' with an older car. Get something for £1k-£2k for a year, if she doesn't have much money and obviously in a bit of a pikle she can't be demanding newish Vauxhalls really.

Champagne taste with beer pockets and all that.

£1000 deposit and £350 a month buys her a budget of £11950 - it's not really the type of thing I sell tbh.

But hope those figures give you an idea of what to look at.

DM · 16 Sep 2010 at 10:03

Cheers for that Maz.

Peerzy, i said all that to her, but its up to her, you cant tell some people.

I just thought id ask on here see if anyone had a revelation of an idea
