New Car for the Wife!

Hi all, i've been out today looking for a new car for the wife! she really likes the Ford Fiesta as she already has the last model, but i'm not sure, especially as they are £12k for the ztec the APR is 4.9% over 2 years which isn't bad but i believe that i could get a better deal on that or another manufacturer!

What do you guys think?

Ha ha well i'll try, i was wondering if any of you guys had bought a new car and what APR it was

our lass got a new festa last april and is chuffed with it still but she paid 4 it outa her own cash ? thats the way forward mate ! personally i would never buy a new car if had to get finance on it as the 1st 2 grand is lost as u drive it off the 4court meaning u lost at least 3 grand by buying a new 1 on finance go 2nd hand every time then u know the previous has spent cash on all the faults which occured in the 1st 2 yrs

ps she paid 12.500 on a 1.6 titanium with leather and 1/2 a tank after bargaining with east rd egremont

Hello Steve, and how are you?

I agree, you know leanne, prob like yours and just want a new motor, and i'm not to bothered as i wouldn't myself, she's already on the options so its a new one without the hassle just the cost

Thats a good price as thats the top dog, impressive stuff, i might look there!! we've been offered a ztec S for £12k delivery miles so its about right!!

Any other takers?

Don't forget if you go for the car.......work on the % rate if you can......i have done it loads of times........it goes something like this.......the other half is really interested and plays up to the sales staff.....taking in all their bluff.......whilst you on the otherhand play it cool.......your'e only there to buy a car for the Mrs.......and just keep saying i will do it but i am not paying 4.9%......make it 2.5% and it's a deal.......

Then just sit back whilst they go and see the manager/ess and see what happens.....i have always got the rate down......everytime........but if you don't you haven't lost anything.........it all depends when they have to pay the manufactuer for their stock.......sometimes the deals are there....sometimes not.....good luck ....hope you get a deal....

Thanks Dave, it's always worth a try, I usualy go for something off the car also, so will see

How about a second Nav for your good lady Steve?

Hello Liam, i did think that buddy, but she can't drive big vehicles, and she's got her heart set on an Esta

I just thought that your wife might fancy something a bit different mate

Tell me about it!!! she does 20k a year so a little diesel is rather a good idea, but she wont budge, so i'll have to work the old magic

20k is nowt mate so i think you might have to get your wand out

indeed! I bet i can save some pennies

I bet you could at 12k mate, its a lot of money for a little car

Thats what i said, their having a laugh, its because of the scrappage scheme i would say we paid £8k for the last esta 3 years ago

I reckon you might be right, there is no other explanation for the jump in price

I'm planning in talking her to see some other manufactures though
