Hi all.
I was planning to purchase a newer car this summer, when I could get a personal loan to purchase a car. This would be when my 6 month probation was up on my new job. My Focus is not dying, but is 8.5 years old with 124,000 miles on it.
I have noticed this deal:
http://www.northernmotors.co.uk/new-car-offers/gtc-16-reg-offer/
The colours vary in price, but the red one would be £13,180 + £199 admin fee. The interest rate is poor but you get £500 added to the cost if you don't use it.
Now, I know this Astra was never a class leader, but I am seriously considering this car. Obviously I would drive one first.
If I planned to keep it for 3-4 years, surely this would be a good deal when I do 22,000 miles per year. This is pre-registered 16 reg with a 3 year 60,000 mile warranty.
I was planning on getting a new marque Astra, Focus or Leon at ~12 months old, but even motorpoint's prices don't come close to this.
