DanGersFord Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thats all assuming I get approved for finance lol should be fine though fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M.K Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 If the loan is secured against the car, then it should be approved without any big problems. A bigger deposit sometimes helps secure the loan too, but you should be fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well im putting £2000 down and dealer is contributing £2000 aswel to take my deposit to £4k. He said that would be plenty. Im going to ask him for paint protection treatment when he gives me the full quote because the air where I stay is quite salty being so close to the sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGersFord Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I was except I've been knocked back for finance because ive moved address so many times in the last few years plus ive only just moved house this month so im not on the electoral role yet. Gutted is not the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 can you not go for a bank loan instead? cheaper interest if nothing else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Im actually now looking at the mk2.5 focus ST2 I didnt realise they came with xenon headlights. That was my main attraction to the New ST3 plus you can pick them up for about £9k now so obvioualy a big difference :). Its mainly because im not on the voters roll for my new house I only moved in at the start of the month he said my credit history was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sucks you didn't get approved for finance, but maybe it was meant to be. It will save you a bit picking up a MK2.5.... and be less of a wait! Looking forward to pics of whatever you get in either case :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 The more I think about it the more I like the idea of the slightly older model for a start ill be able to mod it without having to worry about voiding my warranty :) plus I could maybe get the electric orange one ;) I wasnt a big fan of the tangerine scream colour but I do quite like the Orange ST and the blue one aswell right enough. Just need to scrape the money together few more months of saving :( lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 shame it didnt go quite as well as you wanted, but you have a backup plan and that is the main thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Im going to just save up as much money as I can over the next 5-6 months and then maybe try again for the New ST failing that im just going to go for the slightly older style :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
