Broadspeed New Cars UK

[wolfracepunto]

Has anyone had any experience with this company whilst buying a new car?
I found them and realised it may be possible to change my car sooner than expected with a finance deal Theyre quoting a brand new Stilo JTD Dynamic 3dr for £9671! The dealer retail is £12800 (approx) Obviously it works out more than the £9671 with the finance, but all im after is info or views on this company (if possible) or info about buying cars this way.

Cheers

WR, you're very young to have such a large loan over you, that's all I would add.

 

[Steven]

I agree with Paul to a certain extent... However, you're only young once.

That's a bloody good price for a JTD.

 

[dave]

check there intrest rates, may be like yes car and you end up paying double for the car

Paul- I know my age is an issue (you sound like you're about 20 years older than me lol) but I would work out all the sums thoroughly, and make sure I could pay it, including insurance, maintenance etc.......Also it wouldnt get to a stage where they come knocking on my door demanding money. If I was in trouble my parents would always help me out
I havnt got that far anyway, all im after is some info about this way of buying a brand new car, but comment appreciated

You might be wise to shop around. You may be able to get X years free finance, especially just after christmas, and around march/sept when the new plates come out.

 

[wolfracepunto]

Do you mean free finance from Fiat dealers or these companies like Broadspeed/Jamjar/Motorpoint?

 

[dave]

why wait untill you may get in trouble, get an intrest free loan off parents now

 

[wolfracepunto]

Lol Yeah right, their response: 'We're not lending you money when you've got a decent-enough car now!'

I'm not going to say anything about finance because that's totally up to you. But if you want a small bit of advice about internet car buying here you go.

Me parents nearly bought a Mondeo off jamjar until I discovered Skoda and they changed their mind and went for an Octavia. They got it off some specialist skoda version of jamjar who offered about £400 less than any dealer could quote, just over email. The car arrived (free delivery) on time, no problems, full warranties, arrangement to be serviced at local skoda dealer. They also saved a further £300 just by phoning them up and pretending to have a better quote, on which they went even lower so we got the deal of the century.

Basically I'm saying be careful but go for it. And get yourself a great deal just put the extra effort in! (They bought it outright so no finance trouble.)

P.S good luck and get whatever colour Koarang's got because that looks fantastic!

 

[wolfracepunto]

Thanks for that advice
Ive looked on Jamjar, theyre cheap but not as cheap as this company. Colours??!! Havn't even thought about that yet! Its gonna take me ages when I have to though. Im gonna spend a bit of time weighing this up anyway, before I go ahead Gotta get insurance quotes

keep ringing dad up when its pi55ing with rain an say cars broke down

Sorry to go back to finance, but you should bare in mind that there are loan companies doing rates like 5.5% APR and most car finance companies quote over 11% APR. In terms of total amount repayable that can make several thousand pounds difference, although the shorter the period of finance, obviously, the less the difference.

I paid for my Seicento on finance and the remaining balance was only paid off last week when I traded it in - yes you pay more for it in the end, but you always know how much is going out every month for the full period - it's not like insurance where it alters every year depending on your circumstances (that was when I was 17 and now I'm 20 and never missed a payment because I managed to plan far enough ahead)

As for the original question - never 'erd of em mate

 

[RedSei]

they seem cheap. i think i'm gonna get my car next month from them.

Go for it WR, don't worry about the finance, as long as you know you can afford it, and they ain't taking your eyes out!
