Hi all,

Looking for a new car and wondered if anyone worked in the industry that could help.

Thanks

Left 10 months ago after 12 years of the crappy motor trade. What do you need to know.

I work in asset finance so the concept is simple to me. I want 3+35, its a stipulation but everything is 24 months or 60 months in the adds so browsing the net is basically a waste of time.

Do I pick a car first or look at cars within the budget? Do I use a broker or a dealer? The whole thing already feels sharky!
 
I used blue chilli for a Nissan Juke, on a 3+36 deal, they seem to have moved to a bigger chunk down at the mo.

Lings seem to have better deals and I'll look at them first in Sept when our is up for renewal.

I used to work for a manufacturer and our public deals couldn't get anywhere near both blue chilli and lings. Our staff deals were pretty much comparable on monthly payment :o but with a shorter turn around and no lump sum.


If I was you I would be flexible on make, model

she seems mad as a box of frogs, but this is a cracking deal

To be honest the brokers will be operating at a profit margin of £200 and the dealers would try and keep as much profit in the deal as they can and rightly so. It's down to negotiation. What car are you after. I see 3 +35 deals all the time.

I got some great advice and help from Glyn when I asked a similar question previously. :cheers: haven't bought / leased the car yet but will do later this year.
 
Hehe, I did see that. So ye although where I am looking like I will end up has not been linked here, its because of the links that I found my way. I just wish my director would come back from his business lunch and sign it off before it goes!
