Will be on hire purchase or lease hire pal.
Don't get me wrong I have done hire purchase in my business dealings as the asset is earning money and it works, but to finance or worse still lease a car that is just a car you use not to actually earn money with that asset, that to me is bonkers.
I have always just bought what cars I can afford with the cash I have, and as my dad always said to me "if you can't afford it twice over then you can't afford it son!"
I broke that rule once when I bought my first gtr but I still bought it with hard earned cash
The world has changed, the whole planet is just one huge ball of debt, it's bonkers imo it is far to easy now to buy anything you want on the never never
