"rip off finance deals!

yeah... somebody who does you a finance deal, refunds you back if you pay it off early, include a sickness and accident waiver in with the price and theres no hidden charges.

sounds like a right bad rip off to me yeah....

if you appreciate the innitiative and the quality put into snap on boxes to keep them the best, looked into the one piece draw design, twin wall construction etc.... then i would happily sit here and spout why they are the best box on the market but as your above post is pureley driven off the price of things then i wont bother.

Don't be fooled by APR. Means squat...

Snap-on only charge a flat rate of 9% on promotional tool boxes, so that means if you borrow £1000 over a year you get charged £90 interest.

That's a blinding deal. Don't believe me? Go ask your bank how much they will charge you in total for the same deal......

I would say Edd was being a little generous, £150 balance should be £20 a week, £90 balance at least a tenner. £25 is a bit harsh IMO, but terms are up to the individual dealer ultimately.
As for the finance, a 3 year deal is going to cost you 9% each year, so with the dreaded VAT as well, you are going to pay over £4k. But with Snap-on Finance you can always get a refund of interest if you settle early. So if your credit card company offers you a 0% deal, for example, you can use that to pay off the account and you're quids in.

Also remember the new guy hasn't got the resources or funds of an established dealer, the money he lends you is his own money, not Snap-on's. And there is only so much in the pot. So negotiate is the word of the day.

Oh yes. Lifetime warranty on all storage units to the ORIGINAL owner.
In my experience, you will still be looked after if it's a second hand unit, but you should never take the pith.......
