£500 a month for three years and then the massive balloon payment or hand it back. They then normally end up with some more finance and/or another car instead of walking away learning a big lesson! People that do that are proper cunts IMO and need their head read - why do people feel the need to do it ? (I also can't get my head round why people would run themselves into huge debt over running a RS or any tuned up banger/trackday car for that matter!)
IMO the
average punter spending more than £5K (I would never spend more than a £1K personally and I'm well above average!LOL) on there everyday car is just plain silly.
Don't get me wrong if your doing well and buying said car will not impact you or your families life then go for it as long as you can buy it outright there and then or your loan for it is 12months or less.
