• Car Insurance & CashBack 11 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  In times of rising motoring costs you'd be daft not to try and get some cashback. Check out some of the rates available below. http://www.quidco.com/finance/life-auto/highest-rates-currency/ http://www.cashbackkings.com/insurance/motor-insurance/brands/s2
• Alfa Romeo MiTo (2009 - ) - Any information on sale dates/prices 22 May 2008 (Forum)
  Well its back to the drawing board for a new car and I think after some calculating finances we are prepared to spend around 10K on a chic car for SWMBO. We have had a MINI so preferably that one is out, the Fiat 500 is not her cup of tea and a bit too small. We have both seen pictures of the MiTo and like the look and as a closet Alfa fan I am more than happy to spend some money on a car for her that I like as well!
• unregulated credit agreements - help! 27 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I want to hand the cab back as I am leaving the cab trade and moving abroad. After writing to the finance company, I have since found out that this is an unregulated agreement as the cost of the cab amounted to over £25,000. They are refusing to let me terminate this agreement without paying the outstanding money owed (I,e, the other half).
• Will a dealer accept 2 part ex cars? 5 Apr 2006 (Forum)

• Private buyer at auction 23 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Also, are these cars HPI checked or similar? What guarantee do I have of buying a car that hasn't got outstanding finance or been an insurance write off?
• Is this good value? 11 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  The car will be supplied with a 12 month warranty and they are asking for £4968.00 and have offered finance at 4.9% APR if we need it. First thoughts are that this is reasonable and it will get my wife on the first rung of car ownership. Any views from the backroom would be much appreciated.
• GAP insurance 9 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  As posted elsewhere, we're getting close to buying a new car. Haven't finally sorted the finance, but thought we would get the figures from the dealer as well as from everywhere else. The dealer is offering 'GAP' insurance. For a one-off payment of £4-500 (sorry exact figures not to hand), we are allegedly 'guaranteed' the difference between what we pay for it today, and what we get for it if it's a loss for any reason.
• New company car due 15 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Just received the new company car package and its time to book the test drives and work out the finances. I'd would really appreciate any thoughts and particulary your experiences with any of the following as they all seem affordable when put through the number cruncher. I currently have a Mk IV Golf 1.8T, but it seems from a tax perspective that the new E4 turbo diesels are a no-brainer.
• Supermarket buying advice 6 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  5 miles on the clock, first registered 31/3/03, UK sourced (from a Ford main dealer based just down the road from where I work in Coventry - obviously looking for their new registrations bonus from Ford). Excellent price for 'new' car. Just taking time out to get the finances sorted out but just wanted to know has anyone had any recent experience with these guys and gals? Previous postings I could find have been favourable. Also am I likely to get anywhere if I push for extras in the final negotiations (mats/flaps/fuel etc.)?

• Seat Ibiza - Please help - rejecting a vehicle 4 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  Trying to reject a Seat Ibiza 2012 through Stoneacre. I owned a Fiat 500 on finance through them and returned for my second car. The day after purchasing it I noticed it was advertised on their website for 4995 when they sold it to me for 5995.
