@AvonandsomerRob @summitscaffold Just want to be 80 and paying for someone else’s valuable asset then? Personally I’d rather have that valuable asset to pass to my kids / grandkids

@Heccles94 Jealous much

@BladeoftheS Cool story. I wonder how many families live good lives because a member works for Amazon, Tesla, Space X, Meta, Starbucks, Nvidia etc. Or do their jobs not count?

[xs2man @xs2man]

@SSSandy21 @2147mill Depends. It can work in some instances. In new cars low APR’s on PCP can make it viable to invest the cash and take the finance. Some people genuinely like cars for themselves and don’t care about others opinions on them.

[xs2man @xs2man]

@2147mill Pretty crappy BMW for £35k nowadays. Anyway, some people want to enjoy their lives too. And for some that enjoyment may come from a nice car.

Not sure your math works. How are you paying off a £35k car with £33k of repayments? Math ain’t mathing here.

@boltedsage77 @MissAlly_01 Well done. That won the internet today

[xs2man @xs2man]

@flounders912 @afneil I wonder why on earth happened in March 2020 that could have possibly caused that?

[xs2man @xs2man]

@Dashytwo Maths not a top priority for you then?

[xs2man @xs2man]

@afneil You would hope so. But as you clearly not. The problem I guess is partly similar with any long standing government. Generally the cream comes first, and the longer the power lasts, the whole thing spoils.

[xs2man @xs2man]

@ChaponaBike123 @FoobarSaunders @bob_elston Correct. Would have been much safer for you to have gotten out the way of the car rather than attempt to force the car to reverse when there were other cars behind.

[xs2man @xs2man]

@Heccles94 What about if you restricted that to just the illegal migrants then?

@100kDiary Because cars mean different things to different people. You might not care at all what you drive, but some people have different priorities. Whether that be reliability, cost, performance, looks, technology, whatever.

There is more than just the bottom line with cars.

[xs2man @xs2man]

@Atlasranalready @Propheticz @100kDiary It shouldn't be. Language matters, and they are two entirley different products.

[xs2man @xs2man]

@Atlasranalready @Propheticz @100kDiary That's a PCP type deal. NOT a lease. A Lease is a fixed monthly cost, often with a deposit being a number of months worth of payments, and no final payment. Hand back and walk away. No equity involved. Unlike a PCP.

@MarshallHenry66 @2147mill I recently sold a mk3.5 Ford Focus 1.5 TDI with 76k on it and FFSH for £5k. Never put a foot wrong in 60k miles I had it. Only tyres and brakes. That I'm sure would be a great car for another 8-10 years if looked after the way I looked after it. Was free VED until Labour too

[xs2man @xs2man]

@2147mill Approximatley £5000

[xs2man @xs2man]

@DickWinchester Among the highest energy costs?

[xs2man @xs2man]

@Propheticz @100kDiary Positive equity = not a lease

[xs2man @xs2man]

@SimonM_72 @DtotheAtotheN_G @DarrylMcGarvey @100kDiary Maybe not on a 3-4 year old car typically though. But I absolutley get your point. I always found it cheaper to PCP a new car than a 6-18 month car of same type due to interest rates.
