  Anyone had any ACTUAL experience with Cazoo/Cinch or anyone else doing distance selling for nearly new cars - no finance needed? Does the delivery guy hang around for you to accept the car? Can you really hand it back within 7 days if you don't like it? What
• Best budget laptop? 18 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  My youngest son's current laptop is officially dead, but being the age he is (16) and the school work he has to do, he really needs one. Problem is that cash is a bit scarce at the moment, and due to other commitments, I don't want to take on anything else on finance. So I'm reaching out to any
• Twingo - New Car - Changing owners 1 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I bought my daughter a new car for her 18th, which I'm due to pick up on friday. For some reason the dealer insists on ptting me as the registered keeper (probably because I'm paying the finance !). Anyway, to simplify the insurance for my daughter, she needs to be the registered owner
• Vauxhall Astra H (2004 - 2009) - Is buying a Vauxhall risky? 23 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Given the state of GM's finances, would buying a Vauxhall be a risk in any sense (e.g parts, re-sale etc etc)? I'm thinking about switching from my Saab 9-3 diesel (1.9 Tid 120) to an Astra 1.8 VVT Automatic, but I wondered whether sticking with a GM brand is a safe bet? Incidentally, any
• VAT cut - cui bono? 28 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I've arranged to buy a car. Signed contract, arranged finance, sent the forms back. Now suppose I don't actually get the car until 2 December, ie after VAT goes down. On a £12,000 car, 2.5% is £300, so a not inconsiderable sum. Should the price of my car go down? I should say that I don't really
• "Gap insurance..." 13 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  ...I believe it is called. For my new Hyundai 1.6 I am offered by GMAC (via the dealer) "equivalent vehicle price" for three years at about £500. "Purchase price refund" would cost less and I do not need "finance repayment" cover. As I haved not written off, or had stolen any of my previous 24
• Peugeot 207 cc 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Had a look at one today and quite impressed. Doesn't seem to be quite the same quality as a F Focus or VW Eos and of course has only 2 tiny rear seats but has a good spec and a bmw designed 120bhp engine and 'only' costs £14795. Plus there offering free insurance,fairly cheap finance
• Contract Hire / PCP / Other 21 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Considering a new car and exploring the possibility of not purchasing outright. Lexus IS for £279.99 pcm looks OK (= about £3,400 per year). Presume at that price you get nothing in the way of insurance, servicing or anything other than depreciation and financing avoidance. Is there any

• Porsche and VW in the News - Merger/Takeover Talks 23 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  The Porsche boss and his finance chief have both resigned with immediate effect after an all-night pow-wow. Big payoffs, and a merger/take-over by VW is surely to follow. It seems Porsche ran out of money to effect their own take-over of VW, any such take-over would have had significant Middle
