Default fancy a new focus rs?

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!!!!! 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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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......

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.
