Awesome looking car, looks great in that blue! Makes a nice change to see one that's not white or black
I'm 22 years old, deposit dropped when I was 20.
Alright Mr Pedantic
I meant that he must have taken it to the drive-thru car wash at the local Tesco as there wasn't a spec of dirt on it.
That's generally the response I/It gets... or "did your dad buy you it" etc etc. /sigh

Did you buy it outright or did you get it on finance or lease it?
Considering a lot of cars are personal lease/finance these days especially those who like expensive stuff because no one wants to get hit with the depreciation costs it's quite a valid question to ask sometimes.
How do you avoid getting hit by depreciation by financing? You're still paying for the depreciation!
With the exception of the likes of HP, isn't most financing almost exclusively paying off the depreciation (and the interest)? (Sure, PCP pays off a little of the balance in some circumstances, but leasing and PCH are essentially paying off the depreciation, the interest and "fees")Tell that to the people who justify financing. I'm glad you picked up on that as the majority of my friends who are financing fail to believe me.
I bought it outright, with my own cash, no bank of mum and dad etc etc etc. It was 1k deposit and 29.9k cash (So 31k all in)Did you buy it outright or did you get it on finance or lease it?
That's a damn good effort your insurance does sound pretty cheap thoughI bought it outright, with my own cash, no bank of mum and dad etc etc etc. It was 1k deposit and 29.9k cash (So 31k all in)
I buy my insurance and tax outright. as well....
Insurance year 1 was 804 with £0 vol excess, year 2 was £940 with £500 vol excess (then you've got young driver excess being under 25, and the premium car excess as well)......
All the mods are also bought outright, or sponsored.

Without prying too much, what on Earth do you do for a living?And it better stay that way.... although it seems to be going up the older I get, which definitely isn't the story I was told before lol!!!!

That's strange then. Maybe they thought it was too cheap the first time round XDCorporate Banking Business Analyst, Been investing my money wisely (and sometimes not so wisely) as well. Then have a few bits on the side to make me a little bit extra here and there.
@Jumper118 Nope, not really, probably more in year 1. They don't even care about the mods anymore. Was with the same insurer too!!
I think it was more that in year 1 the car had about 3 months or so worth of road use in the UK, by year 2 it was at about 15 months. So insurance adjusted their risk factors etc.That's strange then. Maybe they thought it was too cheap the first time round XD
