Everyone's different,
What about people who buy a £5000 197 then pay £5000 for a supercharger conversion.

It's all personal choice.

Interesting replies!

I bought two brand new cars on finance, they were only £5k and £7k on finance, and that point onwards, have never bought a brand new car.

Quite agree with most of what's been said. We gotta think about buying a house now, so no flash car for us now lol!!

The South East - where a 1 bedroomed flat costs more than a 4 bedroom house in 'The North' LOL

Attitudes do change as you get older. Spent too much on cars and modding over the years. Have now vowed never to finance again and bought the last 2 cars outright. Have never bought new though.

At some point not only cars (and houses) matter financially ..... More concerned about not working when I am old and grey (though already a little of both!).

Now that's boring !!

I got the 200 on finance and now have the vxr on finance but it's all manageable debt so it's not a problem

I got my 200 on finance and got like £1000 of extras thrown in.

I then took out a bank loan for the same amount (with a better interest rate) and payed off the finance, cost me like £200 (although im saving due to the lesser APR) but I doubt I would have got the extras thrown in if i wanted to pay cash.

The 0% swung it for me. A 6month old one not to the spec i wanted would have cost nearly the same a month as i pay now for one EXACTLY how I wanted it
