Aston Martin V8 Vantage finance deal.

[DRZ]

Wow, missed all this. Can we go in to more detail?

Nope. Not on here. Nothing much to know anyways, just take the internets with a truck load of salt

 

[Maccapacca]

No because lots of folks are red faced about the whole thing mods / dons / members the whole shebang.

 

[hurfdurf]

What happened to him? You don't need to go into too much detail!

When I forwarded the email I got that had any kind of detail it was removed by the mods, who knows if it was because it was slanderous or for some othe reason. Basically no one had ever met him irl despite what it seemed like, nearly all his photos were from else where on the internet, none of the properties he claimed to own were in his or any one persons name, and the phone number he gave me to call to arrange to engage in a spot of fisticuffs with him and his friends was not a real number etc etc

I wonder what he's doing now, he could be watching us, he could be one of us.

I only do 6k miles a year, I could totally afford the monthly repayments, it's just that pesky deposit.

I think it's fair to say that everyone I know who has had one of these holds the same view of it as I summarise here...

"Some nice bits, goes OK, sounds OK, looks lovely but just not quite what I expected really. Can't put my finger on why....nice, you know, well, just nice."

My mate popped in the other day in a Vantage Roadster S he picked up with 15K discount by just getting the well spec'd showroom model, he wasn't impressed with the regular Vantage either, and thinks the Roadster S has that magic sparkle so badly missing. I can only agree after hooking around in it, I didn't stop grinning for hours..

Either you can afford to buy one outright, in which case stop all this messing about, get in there and get your free servicing thrown in and a "discount for cash" and have done with it or you can't afford one.
There is no middle-ground here.

Lots of people finance expensive cars, just cause you finance it doesn't mean you can't afford to run it.

Crap

 

[Matt82]

so run this by me (slowly) again.

if you buy it out right, your money is obviously tied up in a car. if its new, ideally it will have warranty. you have to pay for consumables etc.

when you come to sell it you have depreciation to deal with.

whats the big difference if you hire/lease/finance it etc?

 

[Jokester]

It's all well and good if you can keep paying the lease.

Obviously you have no clue how the wealthy buy their cars.

 

[[TW]Fox]

I wonder how much of that £40k you'd see after 2 years.

None as you are just hiring it?

 

[LiE]

£40k seems an awful lot to hire the car for 2 years.

This +1

I think what he means is, if you pay the balloon payment what is the car then worth should you chose to sell it.
