paul_focus Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hey guy I'm thinking of getting a new ford at end of year just debating on what's best to go for and what finance package is best to go for Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm thinking of getting a new Focus towards the end of the year and will probably do it on Ford options. You seem to get good rates and discounts. Just got to be prepared for what to do at the end of the term as the car will not be yours without a balloon payment.

paul_focus Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yeah that's the only prob u don't own the car I was thinking of a personal bank loan at least that way u own the car and just pay back your bank :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well it is kind of like a mortgage, you are the registered keeper and joint owner of the car, but like a mortgage they can repossess the car to settle the debt. That said, I believe once you have paid over a certain percentage of the capital they can't just take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_focus Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm sure it's 60%of the final value of the car Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Talk to your dealer Paul they always have good deals and if you take ford finance you get a discount off the car as well. Bank loans aren't always the best. Watch for early settlement charges as well. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nath.mk7.st Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The zetec s with no options is £15495 The ST is £16250 Id say even if was only buying a st1 the £750 extra would be well worth it. But I know what you mean bout insurance but I can't see it been that much. Mine went down 40quid Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
