dreamland costs

[vodkakid]

just wondered if any of you have bought your 350 on finance? if so would anyone mind telling me what the monthly costs are like, at the dream stage where i may say bugger the costs and get one

May not be applicable - but have you considered offset finance from a bank or building society? (loan interest offset against current or savings account). Currently saves me about £80/month, over 5 years - £4,800!

Far to many variables involved like deposit,term,and type of contract, go and have an informal chat at you dealer he wont bite(yeh arm off)

Well it can't be difficult to work out how much deposit you can afford, subtract this from £40k and look on the net for repayment tables for the remainder over various 36/48/60 monthly plans. Rich...

Well this should give you a rough idea, it's based on a £20k deposit though

Based on a £38K purchase price

10% down for 3 years with a 50% balloon it works out to about £600 a month.

However its almost certain that you will be upside down at the end of the term unless the car is absolutely immaculate.

bugger think i'll carry on dreaming for now, thanks for your answers!

If it is any help, when I bought my Griff (new).

It was about the following.

£35k for the car.

£8k up front
£400 ish per month
£17.5k baloon after three years

When I did the deal TVR residuals were really strong, after three years they had fallen through the floor!
