ebay 'BARGAINS'

The sump on that Punto will have rotted through before even half the payments have been made

[philibusmo]

**** Based on an Upfront Advance Cash Purchase Amount of £164.75, your Weekly Loan Repayments Would Then Be £38.13.****

 

So if you take into account 'upfront advance cash purchase amount' I bought an entire Alfa Romeo 156 with 12 months MOT for the same as the initial payment and 5.1 weeks of loan payments. People surely can't be this christingly thick to actually fall for this blatant loan shark rip of merchant deal.

NEVER over estimate the intelligence of the great British public......

I honestly did 'LOL' when I read that ad, how anyone in their right mind is going to pay six large for £500-worth of poverty-spec Punto is beyond me, but if he keeps advertising it like that for long enough you never know.

think this guy needs to spell-check the word comical , looks like too many letters to me

Too many zero's surely?!

[Alexg]

That Punto is appalling, a screen price of £3295 and a finance rate of 30% flat. Some poor, but stupid, young girl with £500 worth of defaults on her House of Frasier storecard will think that'll be her only way into a 'new' car, before it goes pop in 1 years time with her still oweing £3000.

[Cavcraft]

If I ever planned to emigrate I'd just go round, sign up for as many of these rip off deals as possible, drive them into the sea then disappear into thin air.

[RedSparrow]

Dear God, this will take some beating:

 

Take a £900-ish Punto, try and make sure it's a fairly shit spec with non-colour coded bumpers and the rest of the car is a fairly gash colour. Adverrtise on the net, attempt to appeal to complete simpletons, then sit back and watch the phone not rin.

REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE: REPRESENTATIVE 59.8%APR. Flat rate fixed interest of 30% per annum. 156 equal weekly repayments of £38.13. The total amount payable on loan is £6113.03.

All a piss take Trig, I understand 'rate for risk' on finance but that 206 trades at £800-£1000, and will probably retail £2000ish. These are vile c@*ts preying on the gullible, stupid and naive. I've been selling cars for nearly 9 years, and I've met a few interesting characters along the way, but I can't imagine the kind of pond life these guys have working for them. How do they sleep at night?

[face]

^ that.

 

What a bunch of bastards.

[rml2345]

It's the Brighthouse of the car sales world, intended to appeal to the easily led and desperate.

They're a bunch of manipulative bastards do doubt...

[cobblers]

You could pretty much go on ebay/autotrader and buy the same car for 6 months worth of payments of any of those motors and then pay nothing for the next 2.5 years. That said I reckon 6 months is about the period that the finance company actually expects the buyer to keep up repayments before getting the car taken off them for the inevitable no insurance situation (You can pretty much guarantee someone dumb enough to take out a finance deal like this will have no NCB and at least 6 points for something or other).

 

The general public really don't understand finance very well at all - When I worked at 'frauds about once a week we'd get the usual customer turn up with a sat nav with a smashed screen/kids mountain bike with stoved off rear derailleur and when we told them we weren't going to fix it for free since they had obviously done the damage themselves, they would threaten to cancel the direct debit for the finance payment

 

Yeah, do that if you want but all you'll do is knock your credit rating for missing payments and eventually end up being taken to court by the finance company whether you've dumped your scumbag kids bike on the floor of the shop of not, infact I'd rather you take the bike with you since I've no space to store it for the few months until we decide you're really not going to come back for it.

[Cavcraft]

Pretty sure finance companies insist on fully comp insurance, but obv. Thered be ways round that.

[RedSparrow]

Reminds me of that lad who got an old Clio on finance - total cost was about £5000. Was on RR as I recall.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Thats an internet legend thread, you just have to put in 'clio carcraft idiot' and it appears straight away.

Ah cheers. I'll give that a re-read this evening.

 

It's the bit when he says 'yeah, but the saleswoman was fit!' when reality sets in. Facepalm etc.

[Cavcraft]

Oh God aye, that Carcraft lad and his thread was legendary.

[RedSparrow]

Oh God it was £7200. The cost of all the cars I've ever owned added up would come to nowhere near that.

[Lankytim]

"Finance ladder" WTF??

[chaseracer]

That snot-coloured Peugeot is back.

Only FOUR large, this time...

[philibusmo]

Shitting Nora. 7200 for a base spec, 4 year old Clio.

£7200

£7200

Seven-thousand-two-hundred pound sterling for a fucking base model, 4 year old Clio, and only 3.2K of that is the 60 months of finance with the rest being the fucking deposit.

 

How do these people live long enough to actually be able to drive a car. Surely with that level of stupidity you would die long before from trying to gargle chainsaws or something?

[cobblers]

I wish we could get an update from clio boy, the stupid bastard will still be paying £170 a month for it providing he hasn't thrown himself off the humber bridge like anyone else in his position would have

[Cavcraft]

OMG leave him alone you BULLY. He NEEDED that car.

I'm on OcUK and I remember when that lad started that thread. I had no idea it was internet ledge outside of OcUK

 

So he did post about it again about 6-months to a year ago in a new thread. I'm pretty sure he finally admitted that he'd been mugged off something chronic and should have listened to the sensible OcUK crowd, but I'm pretty sure he said the car gave him a lot of trouble and he got no recompense from Carcraft.

Yea, definitely one too many zeros, and even £3000 is high but it's a rare thing.
