May I ask those of you who have purchased their Skoda on finance, how much deposit have you placed?

One tissue full .

Sorry..................i PX'ed my mondeo-i think i got

Don't buy on finance, get a bank loan. The car is then yours to do with as you wish. Much less hassle when it comes to selling too, assuming you havent paid it all off .

i agree with mark that it's not always as black and white as it seems initially.

if you can get a good rate and are looking to keep the car till the finance is paid off, for *most* people this is a perfectly reasonable and hassle free ( often ) way of doing things.

the ' you don't own the car' argument, which i myself have often espoused doesn't seem to make much practicable difference in the real world.

horses for courses, you pays yer money etc. etc. etc.!
