mate seen a Merc clk listed in the colour he wants so despite it being at car craft we went and had a look, tuns out it was a manual and NOT an auto

anyway, while hes talking to the salesman I was looking at a silver Ford Focus ST3 on a 56 plate, it was up for £12,900 I dont know if that is cheap or dear but when I had a look at the breakdown I was fucking astonished

taking a loan out on carcrafts finance for 5 years would see the total amount payable 32,900

I was like whaaaaaaaat

list price 12,900 / credit cost over 60 mnts £10,000

so in 5 years you will have a 9 year old ford focus that you will have paid 32k for hahaha

When my dad was looking for a car 4 years ago, they offered 500 part ex old car, by the time salesman got to the car that was 100 quid... got same car with same spec and newer for 2k less in the end!

Unfortunately there are a lot of idiots like Doyle that have no life skills who will sign themselves up to that.

Thats shocking!

However am i missing 10k somwhere here as the list price is £12900 finance is £10000 so thats £22900 isnt it? not £32000. Still a hell of a lot of money for that though.

WHAT THE FUCK.

A car worth 10k and a finance with an interest rate of nearly 50%, you end up owing 22k even after you sold the car for 10k.

That is horrendous, they really should be laws against this shit.

I know a lad who went to carcraft and bought a bog standard 1.4 focus (was 4 years old at the time), he ended up paying about £15k for it.

So if you got that 16k st3 got the finance then wrote it off, the insurance is gonna give you what 10k so your gonna owe 20k+ and have nothing to show for it lol

also they give finance to morons who have a shit rating as it is, so even less likely to repay.
