I agree, wibbling wonky site! Suspect the interest payments are rolled into the original price of the car - they certainly aren't cheap.

Here's an alternative way to buy a car in three easy steps.
1: Save up enough money to buy a car.
2: Buy a car.
3: its so easy there is no step 3.
Personally I would try and avoid car finance at all costs, but as I used to work repossessing cars I see how easy it is to be tempted into very very
bad deals.

but sound advice! If you really want a car that you cannot afford, try a normal bank loan first. You might get around 7%apr, far cheaper than the
rates offered by people trying to flog cars. Last time i enquired on that one it was more like 20%.
Then buy it at an auction.

It may not have sounded it, but it really was meant to be proper advice, because...

Which is NOT nice.
And I gaurantee that not one of the people who lost their cars ever thought they were going to.
Buying a car gives you an asset.
Financing a car gives you a debt.
My entire life I have only ever bought cars I can afford. Yes most have cost a few hundred pounds, but I've never, not once, had to worry about
missing a payment.

What's your budget MW? Can you scrape anything together? Older Volvos and Saabs have a pretty awful second hand value but are both relatively
safe cars for your wife and child?

not more than a few hundred quid. looked into leasing with lings cars, but the lease on a fiesta works out as the value of the car, which seems a
shame you don't end up with anything at the end.

It IS a question of want then.
Get a small loan and buy a decent s/h car. You don't have to spend stupid money to get something modern and safe; look at the price of a late
Mk3 Mondeo for instance. I'd avoid a modern diesel if you can't cope with some potentialy large repair bills.
