What like people who go into a dealership wanting to buy something and walking out with what they wanted instead of being sold a bad deal?

It's not the white one for £19,990 is it?

If it is, I don't think you've understood quite what we're saying to you.

Isn't every new car a bad deal by OcUK's standards?

Everything should be bought nearly new and for cash is the prevailing opinion here. News flash: it's not the right choice for everyone.

If you are on about Housey i think you will find he is at the "buy the wife a new car if its what she wants" state of finances, not dripping one up.

Oh and realistically I intend to buy the car off them anyway at the end of three yrs. So instead of a load at 10% APR I do it at 7.8% and have gone through the same process anyway.

and yeh, seems I should have just posted pics when it arrived, I hope i'm not in the same league as the clio guy, I read that entire thread

Not at all.

Walking into a dealership to look at a 12k Golf and walking out having signed on the dotted line for a £22k poverty spec, lime green Scirocco would probably get you lambasted on most forums.
 
I can understand people having issue with the impulsiveness of the purchase, sure.

But he's bought an average car on an average finance deal, this isn't Carcraft.

Do you understand PCP? He doesn't own the car by the end of it, even though he's paid out thousands. At least with Carcraft/HP you have something to show for it, albeit overpriced.
 
yeh cutoff point is <15k at 7.9% apr loan, tesco do 8.4% for over 15k

so ANYONE who wants a new car and 'shock-horror' doesn't have 20k floating around in their account is stupid for financing it like er lets see... normal people?

yeh of course it wastes money, short of gambling or having a heroin addict buying new cars is a waste in that you don't NEED to do it.
