the time has come i think for my smart to go the journey, its been a fun 4yrs years but i need something more practical.

i often hear people talking about getting new cars for as little as £100 a month, how the feck do people do it?

all i can find online are offers for 0% on the ful amount, i.e. £15k /36months so thats £400+ a month (ok i didn't take a deposit off)

so how do i get a good deal?

or should i just lease one?

You don't finance the whole car, you only finance (say) three years of it. They have a Guaranteed Final Value for the car, so after the three years of a small payment you decide whether to buy (paying the remainder), hand it back (usually using it as a deposit on another new/nearly new from the same place) or you finance the remainder and keep paying it off.

Depending on the cost of car, amount of deposit, length of the agreement and gfv of the car, you could find yourself around the £100 mark easily enough.

I'd say most people doing the above never actually 'buy' the car, they just pay monthly, have a newish car for a few years then chop it in for another newish car. It's not quite leasing, but it's not quite ownership either.

If you are getting a new car leasing is definately the way to go, depreciation at the moment is something else!

A client of mine has a car leasing franchise, I can get an Astra 1.4i SXi 16v for £170 + VAT pcm and I could at one point get a C1/Aygo for £99 + VAT pcm.
