My input:
This is something i have been looking at alot recently, albeit not a BRAND SPANKERS car but rather more a cheaper / older car with a 25% deposit and the rest paid off over 3 years.
My reasoning for this is that i have never borrowed money in my life which although morally correct, doesnt stand me in a good credit rating for in a few years when i want to buy a house and obtain a mortgage.
IMHO i would say if you can realisticallly afford it and afford to repair / maintain said new car then go for it! and please tell me its a 208 gti 30th edition
Best way to do it is to put as much down as possible before hand, what contribution is the dealer putting in? as most offer a £500 dealer contribution on a new car.
