It almost looks like a 'bait and switch' job, but the final interest is very low!

So long as you are happy to pay £30,400 for the use of the car for the next 3 years (£775 x 36 + £2500) or £844 a month, then it's fine.
£200 a week for a new car - depreciation anybody? There are always fools like me who buy new cars so that sensible people can pick them up later for cheap! Nothing like the smell of new leather though.

Back on thread - Glad I brought this up - just been onto the dealers,

"err yes sir it was a starting rate of 6.6% PA" , i.e. a flat rate.

So not APR as they infered. But the end rate is low, pretty good in the end. I had forgotten I'd deleted some options, so my quoted discount list price was wrong, its actually £37569 (still 12.7% off). So the APR will be more than 4.88%.

Anyone? - £37569 price / 2.5k deposit / £775pm / 3yrs / GMVF £12,177 - around 8% apr I reckon

The vehicle saving I got is a tangible figure, and the finance is very competitive at, but not cheap. Most online PCPs are around 10% APR at the mo.
