Has anybody used this site and gone through with a deal?
Im struggling to be able to buy and insure a car, after having to get rid of the corsa, at the mo with the stupidly high insurance atm.
Got a couple of quick questions for anyone that has used it:
It seems quite feasible at first glance but im not 100% convinced, so do you see it as a good option, and what did you pay per month for the car and insurance deal, and what car did you get?
Cheers

It's HP or PCP and they charge 10-13% APR. Plus the insurance price is eye watering. For me they want over £2k a year on a 1.3 Punto, I pay £600 a year for the same car.

I know you can buy the car outright from them too, before the pedants get me.

the bit i dont get is the insurance it gives a quote for the first year and then says its and additional £xx per month added to the cost of the car over the same period......so if i took the car finance for three years does that mean id be paying the first years insurance off for the three years? and then obviously after the first year has gone add the next years insurance on top of that? im confused???

it turns out the monthly price only covers the first years insurance so after the first year you still pay for the car but have to get insurance to

reeeet, would you say its a good way to get back on the road or better going the 'normal' way?
their insurance also seems to be cheaper for me than a normal quote

Not sure how buying a new car with monthly insurance costs less than buying an older car and getting normal insurance

well a month its working out cheaper to get the car and insurance from here rather than buying a 1.2 b etc. and insuring that, did a quick one before and for the first year on a 08 plate corsa d insured its £222, which i know doesnt sound cheap but just on the b its more than that a month for just the insuance

That's cheaper than buying a 2k car on finance and paying 1k for insurance?

i mean per month, i dont have the cash to stump up, up front to go buy a car thats why im lookin into it, if i can get it into an affordable monthly payment it makes it alot easier, also i would be keeping the car for at least three years im sure and its something newer than a b and wont need much spendin on it on bits breaking beause of age, and atm insurance on a b is coming back at more like £2.5K+ for me
