Default Went car land today.

As above me and my dad was doing some x mas shopping, and was a bit bord so thought would pop into car land. I see a 106 GTI 2002 price was £6700 which is like double lol, and if u went for the low first year payment £99 and the other 4years at £220, or some thing like that it worked out to £12,500. For a fucking 106 know wonder why this country is fucked.

A few years ago I was after a cheapish daily hack, mondeo or vectra etc, nowt special just a motorway mule. I went into carcraft in Birmingham as I was on the way to look at a car just after it, so thought I would pop in. There were a few cars that seemed decent, and asked what deal I could get for cash..... The reply I got was shocking, they WOULDN'T sell me a car for cash, it HAD to be on finance .... At an APR of 39.9% a 4k car was going to cost in the region of 12k ... No wonder they are raking it in, and stupid cunts buy them as well

Surely the government should be taking steps to Stop companys like this trading the way they do..
as said, its this sorta company offering high% finance to the millions that is a big cause of the fukk up we are in??

i often wondered how they made they're money, i never knew that! theres an advert for that kinda place on the back of this weeks autotrader and i saw a 55 plate tdci 1.8 focus for £4750 which i thought was a good price, but obviously not if finance only at 40%apr!!
