Car Finance

are there any websites where you can search for a car by options such as monthly payment, low/no deposit etc?

trying to sort out a new car and it's a f***ing nightmare.

Lease is the way forward mate.

I lease mine and get a new car every 3 years.

You can go with any lease company, I went direct to the VW dealer cos I got a better deal with them.

I'm on non business.
I got free servicing, free mot's. tank of fuel.
Warranty as standard.

Got a decent p/x for my car too.

I'd shop about first, you can always haggle with the dealers. I did.

Lease is the best idea but only if you know you are going to stick within the agreed mileage

Piece of piss, when they ask you what mileage you do on average just add an d extra 3k on top.

When it comes to the agreement you should never go anywhere near it.

Interesting. I went for the finance route on my car because when i looked into leasing most companies were saying 10k plus X amount per extra mile I've done 20k since nov through work and driving to various united aways. do you think that they would have allowed me to clock up such mileage?

I'm not sure it differs from company to company tbh.

I had lots of options to choose from.

Mine runs out in April, but deffo doing it again.

I imagine leasing is a good incentive to actually take care of the car as well. Something that I have never ever done.

This is my problem. Most deals are 10k a year and I'd fly past that with work/sport etc. Get a healthy 'mileage' allowance from work of 638 a month, so I took a loan out from the bank (jack- this is a better way than car finance if possible, better rate of apr etc) and bought a car instead. Then when it's paid off I'll have something to sell to recoup some money compared to leasing.

Saying that there's some cracking leasing deals on at the minute. Leasingoptions.co.uk is one of the ones we use. They had an A3 sport on there the other week for something daft like 189 a month and 10,000 miles a year allowance. Again, not enough for me and couldn't be arsed mile watching etc.

If anything the opposite,If i knew i didn't have to pay for servicing et al id rag f*** ouutta it

yep but don't you have to pay for any damage if there is any at the end of the term?

I fancy a Merc next tbh.

If it wasn't for the nipper, I'd go for the sports coupe.

They were doing great deals a few months back. Brand new C class for around £300 a month, with the dealers knocking off £5-7K from list.

It's not called leasing but something else the Mazda one is PCP

Done 2 of these - got new car and no worries about MOT etc but for me it was a getting a very cheap to run car M2 £35 tax cheap insurance and great mileage.

Was amazed at how fast the first one we had was 1.4 light as anything was quick as Bellion.
