Anyone know about this scheme Vauxhall do for buying new cars?
I've read about it on their website altho it doesn't say much.
Was wondering how its worked out exactly, wanna try and roughly price up a VXR.
Thanks

put a deposit down pay installments over 3 years or so then you have a final payment to make ( This is residual price that vauxhall give you based on the monthly installments and annually mileage) to pay you can either pay it or give the car back

Don't bother, really 
The car will be worth £10k less in 6 months.

5 yrs 
Do you want to keep the same car for 5 long years?!
I get bored after 6 months. I've done the whole finance thing before and it was the stupidest move I ever made.

You could probably do it over 5 years but would you really want to be tied into paying for a car for 5 years

Just think. After the first year, you'll still probably owe more than double what the car is worth. Don't be a clown.

Its not neccesarily a bad idea to get one over 3 years then give it back instead of making the final payment.
Its a good way to get a brand new car if you dont mind not keeping the car at the end.

u really think the Astra VXR will depreciate that quick?
