i was tempted yesterday, really really tempted

£1k deposit
£900/month for 2 years
£10k left to pay at the end

so it's going to cost £33k rather than £30k

worth it?

 

900 a month?? Fuck that..............

 

900 a month, i only earn 100 more than that

 

no way, whats wrong with a second hand one,ive seen them on pistonheads for around 25-26k

 

If you have to ask then no.............

Also, FUCK THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fuck that, I'd never get in debt for a car...

 

£900 a month!!!!! No fucking way!

Mind you if the money isn't an issue then why not. Or if you have a spare £900 a month why not save it for a few and get a better finance deal?

 

£900 a month!

 

Not being funny, but if you're considering finance like that then maybe you should look for something a bit more reasonable. If you can only put £1k deposit down then I would advise to avoid £30k cars.

 

my mortgage is less than half that a month and i find that annoying!

 

Fuck that.

 

900 a month........u may wanna pull ur pants back up after that anal rodgering

 

you can put down as big a deposit as you like, but this is based on a grand

i've got a brochure and everything, even the dimensions to see if it'll fit down the driveway after speaking to the rs guy at the dealership ginge works at

but at £900 a month, in about 5 months time i'll have an extra £500 a month and in about 18 months time i'll have another £800 so it's either buy a car or built and extension or pay the house off

 

LOL. £900 a month, wtf!

 

if you can afford it, why not, personally, i'd save a bigger deposit and finance over 3 years.

don't buy a green one tho they look good now, but i don't think the colour will age well. white or blue is the way forward imo.

 

fuck paying £900 a month whether you can afford it or not, at the end of the day its a fucking ford focus id want a hell of a lot more car for that, but saying that i havent yet and dont intend to get in debt for anything.

 

 

i was thinking blue, easier to clean and belnds in much easier

 

Very true.

 

IMO you can't afford a car if you can't pay cash...

 

wonder what it will be worth after the 2 years when you have paid for her?

 

If you really fancy an RS, buy a used one in 2 years or so.

If depreciation is anything like it was with Cossies, you'll lose hardly any money from then on.

 

10k? Probably

 

Read the thread, after 2yrs he will still owe £10k!

 

well the mk1 focus rs which was limited in numbers seem to be holding around the 10-12k mark and they are 6 years old,as these are mass production i would say they are going to drop in value like a lead balloon

 

Fucking hell a big +1 .... £900 for something thats going to drop in value and just sits on the drive , but then if you have it spare why not

 

If he had that kind of dosh spare every month surely he'd be buying it cash???

Why not wait 3 years. They'll be about 10 grand then, and I'll be having one knowing some daft twat has lost 20k on it. At 900 quid a month

 

Hahaha, you're asking if its worth paying 900 note a month for a Ford Focus. Have a word with yourself Dojj.


Cheers,
Grant

 

personaly id wait till the new shape comes out if your going to cos the price of the mk2 will drop when the mk3 comes along same as the st prices dropped when the rs came out
if you look how many mk2 rs,s are on ebay now it looks to me like people are wanting out of them while there worth good money still

 

won't have the spare cash for a few months yet, and then there is a new focus out in a years time, so i might wait till the new rs comes out

in the mean time, i'll have a few quid spent on the extension

 

tbh jacko, i think that the salesman was a bit too honest when he pointed out that there was a new one in the works

a shade over £30k with the options or £27k as a base price is still a lot of money and if i had the money i'd more than likely buy one second hand with a lump of cash, but it's always nice to have a brand spanking motor to sit in

then again, i could always get it as a company car......

 

not worth strapping yourself up that much for a car, buy a house instead.

 

if youcan swing it as a company car then go for it

 

going to see someone on teusday....watch this space

 

go on dojj get one bought. You only live once and its only money.

 

Ford must be making a mint . 30 grand holy shit!!!

 

i wish i had 900 quid a month spare lol.

 

900 a month i only earn 1800 p/m. then bills on top of cr id have nearly nothing

 

jesus fuck some stupid people here.

firstly it's up to dojj whetehr he can afford that a month. he may well have it "spare" so it doesnt really matter whether £900 is a lot to other people or not.

secondly if the repaymenty was £450 over 4 years does that sound any betetr as the payments are less? AFPMSL.

 

if ya can afford it go get it mate...i was lucky i paid for mine in full.

there`s alot of people on here that moan about "oh i wouldnt buy one as they will lose loads a money"...FOOK THEM...its nice to go get a new car if ya can..yes i paid 30k for mine but i wnt lose any money as it will stop with me til i have to sweep it off the floor..
