Jm0nEy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Im looking on getting my first carBut basically everyone seems to think that your 1st car should be a banger but im not on that, looking at prices of cars on finance i could easily afford to get a car i wouldnt get if i had to save for itHave any of you got cars on finance and is it worth it?

Mr. Air Max 90 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Why on earth would you want to get a new car as your first car? Furthermore, a new care on finance.

Jm0nEy Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Whats wrong with it if i can afford it? Just lets me have the car straight away instead of saving for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VENOM Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 dont let these broke nyiguhs chat sh*t to you. if you can get it on finance then go for itlook at it this way: if you have a budget of like 5-10g to spend on a car then its smarter to get it on finance if u have a decent income every month."OH WHY DOESNT HE PUT THAT MONEY ON A HOUSE"? cos not everyone needs to rush into the housing market thats why we got into the sh*t we in now.get the finance as it helps your credit rating as well. but what if you lose your job in 3 months?

Sub_Zero Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had the worst car ever when I first started driving but I still loved it because hey it got me from A to B. Now I've been driving a few years I've progressively got better cars. I'm not saying I'm better in anyway because of this but the dudes that bought a new car to begin with on finance are either A. still paying it off or B. paid it off but not happy with it now. Whereas I have a sick newish car I'm well happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What A CUNT. Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Whats wrong with it if i can afford it? Just lets me have the car straight away instead of saving for itThat's the thing; you can't afford it.If you can't afford to buy without credit then just relax and save up or get something within your budget.

Guest Cipher Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 If you can handle it thats coolIts best to put a hefty deposit down though if you would be financing.Beware though a lot of people get into trouble with financing.With financing you always pay more than you would for the original car. Say the car was 6 grand up front, if you finance it will will probably pay something like 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackInTheFlesh Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Pro. You can change your car every 3 years or something like thatcon. If you lose your job or your income your pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm sure most man on here can afford gettin a car on finance, remember they want to make it seem easy so they can sell more cars and even better make more money from their finance departments. You may be able to afford it, but in the long run you're payin allot more than the real cars' value, especially considering most borrowed money rates aren't great for consumers at the moment. You will more than likely pay allllllot of interest.Secondly first cars are usually ur learning car, more than likely gonna have one or two accidents in them, whether its small scratches or crashes.

Sub_Zero Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 At the end of the day, do what the f*ck you want. We have no idea of your financial in's and out's and a decision like this should be made by yourself and not influenced by forum peasants.

Guest Cipher Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 One thing though - if you are having to finance your carTo me it says (maybe im wrong) but your not that good at saving up money, and this is why you can't buy one outrightSo if you aren't too good with money, financing a car is probably the last thing you needSay you finance one for 36 months3 years time you may want a new car yet you will still be paying off your old one.
