if you can sell your car at a £500 loss after doing 10k miles in it then do it, your on a winner

I looked at getting a Cupra R once I built some no claims on my insurance but I decided finance was not for me.
And that was with a fair bit more than £150 disposable income after all my outgoings....

dont take finance thru the dealership themself!
Check out Direct Lines finance.
The dealer for my car wanted 250 a month for 5 years
where as i got it from direct line for bout 170.

I would seriously consider your options.
Dont forget when the new astra comes out that the mk4 will prob drop a grand or two.
If you set your heart on it fair enough its your choice at the end of the day 4Yrs is alot and is it a variable rate or fixed! if the finance is variable then take into account it's prob going to go up.
2K to spend on the corsa is alot of money and you wont see any of it back when you sell it. I am not one to talk though as i have just booked my car to get bodycolored and stein skirts fitted.
Mate as said it's upto you, I would love to have one but i would either do what Chris_UK said wait till youve paid yours off or and leave your car

I am thinking that you guys are right..... but I am also wanting the astra so bad....
If I was being sensible i would keep the corsa....
But if Im not and wanna live to the limit of my money then the astra is the way to go.

Right you guys have made me see sence!!!
Theres no point in nearly being skint every month and worrying about money - So I am gonna keep the corsa - sure it would be nice to have the astra but OH WELL!!!
The only thing is I am gonna still do the corsa up, as I dont want it looking standard anymore
