The value is in a new Motor if you shop hard.

164

Is it though? Seriously?

Like you could bargain hard on the likes of a jetta, but not so much on a more popular car?

And you spec it up.

Genuinely curious about that

Ye from what i can see the newer the motor the bigger the saving

I’ve bought a new car recently, after bargaining extremely hard the gap from good quality 2/3 year old same spec models wasn’t enough IMO.

New car, warranty, free servicing & peace of mind. Made sense in my situation.

What car did you get Har?

Nice job

How do you find it? Mrs. Kremmen is currently considering one.

Looked at them all Elvis. By far the best drive of the lot, feels & drives like a Jeep as opposed to others in the segments feeling like light hatchbacks with high driving positions.
Economical on Diesel & good boot space.

Good buy. A very nice car.

They hold their money very well too.

Had you a trade in?

173

No. Sold it privately at a poor enough return for a so called Premium brand.

Delighted with it and as you said they seem to make bonkers money second hand if in good nick.

174

They make crazy money.

I spend time on the likes of parkers.co.uk for my sins.

Those yokes, crvs, q3/5s etc hold up on 70% after three years.

A mondeo class car would be sub 50.

They are a great new buy.

:sweat_smile: 0% isn’t the problem it’s the loan is the problem. 0% interest on a car you can’t afford still adds up to a car you can’t afford

It’s more like sub prime lending. The people who can’t afford the car, get cheap money initially to buy something they can’t afford. They get a good deal at the start before being shafted at the renegotiation point at the end of the initial period. Actually it’s exactly like sub prime

It is a depreciating asset you can walk away from after end of the three years. Nothing like a
Mortgage

178

Sounds exactly like my mortgage

Til you try to walk away
