I'll have two!
« on: 14 July 2012, 12:55:41 am »
Just sold my Land Rover so I've been checking out ebay and the like for a replacement car, I stumbled on this one... check out the finance package!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-C-MAX-Zetec-1-6TDCi-Diesel-2004-WEEKLY-PAYMENTS-AVAILABLE-ON-THIS-CAR-/270970717186?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f171d0402
Cash price £5995, total amount payable £11121.47  :eek   Who the hell needs a car so desparately that they'll pay double what it's worth?  It's no wonder the country is broke if people will take out credit like this  :rolleyes

59.8% APR??

Sod that.
There appears to be no limit to what lenders will do to trap people into a web of debt.

Sounds like a bloody fortune for a 2004 Focus anyway, 6 grand, even before you look at the atrocious finance?

You do have to wonder sometimes who in their right mind would take out finance like that but for some it is the only oprion as they can't get a bank loan.
