 0% finance is attractive, warranty is good, £500 discount.  All sounds nice.
 
 Major reason not to buy is it'll depreciate a lot while you own it.
 
 Other than that it might make sense.  Just don't change your mind and be left with a car that's worth less than you owe on it.  As a rough rule of thumb you need to keep a new car 18 months before you start gaining equity in it.
 
 
 what does depreciate mean?
 
 After say 3 years of owning it ill not like the car anymore?
 
 
 Also, say its a 5 year deal, over the 5 years, is there any chance I can upgrade the car?
 
 
 
 Are you for real?

 | Outgoings of £500 a month...
 
 If I were you i'd look at the deals available, choose one with a monthly payment which you think you can afford, add the petrol costs (the stuff that makes the engine run) and insurance costs and subtract that from your spare £500. If it leaves you with enough money to do other things that yopur lifetsyle dictates then consider doing it.

 Dont forget that noone ever pays full list for a vauxhall anyway, so that £6250 is only nearer £3500 really.
