I've got something to add to this now.
The people who I'm buying a car from really really want me to take their offer of finance.
This means I don't have to pay for the car outright I just pay a bit each month, but I think why should I do that if I can afford to pay for the car.
Psychologically it feels good to have the money stay in my account with only a bit going out each month but I can just pay myself back the money I would be giving them and not have to pay the interest they're asking for.
They made a case that sounded convincing, something to do with how I'm buying something that depreciates in value and so on, when I could put the money I have to something that appreciates in value instead.
I don't know much about money but I do know I want a car and I don't have enough to buy my own home, and I just want to pay for and own my own fucking car.
(I know I put in my first post I was already going through with the finance way of buying the car but I realized I never signed a contract to go through with that and so I called the car people and told them I changed my mind about doing it that way and I want to just buy it.)
Anyone else know anything about this subject? Right now I'm just going to go in and pay for the car, no weird finance deals where I'm getting stuck with charges with no idea what they're even for. The finance deal they're offering isn't even bad but an additional factor is they charge you £400 just to get the deal started, £199 for the first and last payments of the monthly charges. I still haven't been given a good explanation as to what these are for and I don't want to call them up and ask because I'll have to sit through another hour of listening to a used car salesman talk bullshit and use long technical words designed to confuse.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
