dont do dealer finance i regretted it big time best bet is to get a low APR loan then you own the car outright.

If you take out finance the car is technically property of the finance company and isuposedly your not meant to mod cars on HP.

tbh it seems a 100% personal thing, some people don't have a problem with paying off, slowly but surely over a couple of years, and the majority of people don't have a problem; whereas those with the 'cack cars' probably aren't comfortable with owing money, so even though they could afford the payments, choose not to.

So overall the Fester is no help here

As said before, a personal loan is the way to go. You will owni t and its more straight forward, no milage penalty clauses or final payments etc.

Yup, get a loan as its better. The finance company can reclaim the car if you miss a payment, whereas then bank will just send big hairy guys to sort you out! Atleast you can drive away from them!

Oh and why do you need another Golf? Yours is a weapon!

You're probably going to need it on a house so you may as well get over principles right now.

Finance is a tax on having it now.

Do the right deal, keep your eyes open on how easy it is to settle.

It'll leave you without money in the future as of course even if you sell the car down the line you'll probably be breaking even on the deal and won't have much equity. If you need a deposit for a house this might be an issue but you could also borrow a smaller amount over less time and end up with a car that you own at the end of 2 or 3 years.

I tend to get them over 5 and change them when they're square. No sense investing in a depreciating commodity!

i always consider myself to be quite clever with a good vocabulary, but yor words leave me baffled.
i feel stupid now.

so in easy terms a loan with good apr is better than finance from a dealer cos i will ow the car outright!?!
if i was to do a loan id want to pay it out over say 2 years. or even less.

Most loan companies are offering very low APR's at the moment so it's a much better option than dealer finance.

I took a loan out a bit back and offset it to my current account through IF, I wasn't really sure what it was all about at the time, I went for it because the APR was low but because I usually have a decent amount of cash in the bank I've paid the loan off 3months early now.

Well worth looking at, I think other companies have started off-setting now too.

Car finance is secured on the car is usually easier to get out of. For example, if you've paid more than half you can usually give the car back regardless of negative equity on the car at that time.

The only way to settle a bank loan is with proper cash.

There's no bad route, if you're comparing loans take a look at TAP - total amount payable - and decide how long you're keeping the car for and how much you want it to be worth when you do sell for an idea of what sort of term to look at.
