Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I found it worked quite well to have some figures worked out beforehand to give them something to match.
does the above mean you pay £74,474 overall for the car?
If so how much did it cost list?
If the residual is above 40,000 at the end this seems good but a tad expensive if below or am I being stupid?
Why not just bank you bonus each year, do a deal for equal payments, and set up a S/O - that way you get to earn interest on your money - or am I being daft here?
ok ok .... 20k deposit ; 225x33 ; 4000 x 2 ; 39k
that was the deal... total £74,425.
i'm not claiming it's a cheap way to buy a car, all i'm looking for is a compnay out there who can do this (although since the original posting afn have been told by bank of scotland (the finance company) that they can still do it, so i'm waiting for tehe structure of my new deal to allow me to become the happy owner of the c4s.
i have owned about 15 cars in the last 6 years, and have lost about £80k in depreciation, and although is a hefty sum, i don't regret any of it one bit. cars and speed are simply marvellous.
Just bought a C4Cab and financed it with premierfinance.com who were really excellent. I did deposit+36months+balloon and the overall rate was very low and everything was sorted in two days. I found it worked quite well to have some figures worked out beforehand to give them something to match. After discussions with many finance houses I found offers ranging from effectively paying back 119% over the term (i.e. borrow 60K pay back £71.4 overall, this is the most important thing to look at, the overall cost you would pay) to ones where you would pay back more than 130%. I rang premierfinance and gave them the lowest figures I had and they came back in a couple of hours with a better deal. I worked with Jackie Oborne

who was very helpful and really helped me get a good deal that no-one else could get anywhere near matching. Good hunting!
I looked into all sorts of PCP schemes etc and Lombard did one, but after a bit of work for Mercedes Finance, I can promise you that these guys are out to screw you.
The cheapest way to buy a car still is 1) cash, 2) remortgage equity and then 3) unsecured personal loan
But these may not suit you, so just mentioning it for info. Lombard are worth chasing for a PCP plan.
Depends on what you want really, Porsche finance can undercut most personal loan rates, and some people just want to pay a low figure each month in which case PCP schemes have some benefit.
From experience though its normally just 1 deposit, 36 or 48 at x, then a final payment - the scheme at the bottom of this thread seems complex to say the least.

I bought a 996 C4 about 2 years ago, and for some reason decided to sell it in November last year. Now I need another and am looking at a c4S.
Problem is finance. The old deal I had wa financed over 3 years in the following way : £20k deposit, 11m @£225 + 1m @£4000, repeated for 3 years but with the final balloon of around £40k.
Now I want to do the same again, AFN (where my new C4s is waiting for me) won't do the same deal. Does anyone out there know a company that will offer this type of package?
