as said before 'work' in I.T. - basically blag your way around a bit, buy an expensive product (get presents) then go and work for them

I think that people like Marks and Spencers do a 30% deferred and 60 months to pay at an apr of about 9 ish % .If you you combine that with getting a European Import that gives you about the lowest payments into a new one

bought my STI back in '99 on finance with alliance and leicester using their car purchase plan (lets you defer an amount between 40-60%) so your monthly outgoings are low (was about 225 from memory I think), just got a brand 02 WRX on contract hire 3+23 for £264+VAT per month - stupidly cheap!

(o and I work in IT!)

Tazman,

Thats based on 15k p.a. non-maintained, check out:
http://www.contracthireandleasing.com/ for some good deals cos I heard subaru have had poor sales of new age impreza's (many on here would say why!) so doing cheap deals, having had both I miss the power from my classic shape STI but *love* the refinement of the new age WRX. Given the choice I would have both!

JayCole

Again, I work in IT. Thats how I am getting a P1 pretty soon. 15 -20k plus my 106 GTi as deposit (unless I keep it).

Loan will be over 5 years but it'll actually be paid off a lot quicker. Loan is with my bank by the way.

Rasher

Befriend an wealthy elderly person with no immediate family, over a period of time gain their trust etc. and get them to change their will and he presto!!! paid for in full..
OK,OK bank loan usual rates

john coffey

Are the majority of IT workers here contractors or permanent?
I thought the IT market had slumped since Sept 11th.

ice man

I did contracting for around a year then went perminant. Got in there just in time before salaries started dropping

uktony

Took out a loan with AA over 3 years.

Then asked my boss for a payrise to cover it.

Then he said yes!

Gaz Jones

They are all lying, they are drug dealers/members of the mafia!!!

GaryK

contracted '94-2000, sloped out just as good ol' IR35 crept in, now work direct with clients.

Gary

ADP

I somehow still qualified for a graduate loan even though I graduated 3 years ago!? My car was 17k and I owe about 10k. The interest rate is pretty good 7 ish I think and Im pretty safe in the knowledge I could sell the car and pay the loan off if I lost my job or whatever(dont owe anything else)

Theres no way Id save up and get the car in 3 years time, I wanna have my fun now! even if there is an interest payment.

btw, get a cheap turbo, not a sport - really.

TBMeech

Mine is Financed with the finance co i used to work for, preferential rates still and all 3.9% APR

jac2000

International Motors Finance for me, after I traded my Sport in after 18 months ownership. The Sport was great, but cost of ownership does not equal any great performance smiles. You will always want a turbo when running a Sport - the difference is chalk and cheese, and as for costs it aint really that much more.

kenneth

try alliance & leicester car plan. its similar to a pcp without being tied to the car. apr 9% I think.

naturbo2000

Got a Sport being paid for with IT wages and a graduate loan.

Now looking to trade it in and get a turbo - it's not like I save anything on insurance

scooby nutter

Work your *** off!!!
I'm 24 now and worked my ***** off Plumbing and Central Heating.
At 19 i had a 93 WRX,at 23 i paid CASH for a £13000 lancer

Dont agree with all this loan/hp crap(except for houses)
If you cant afford one,dont get one.

Cash only deals
