Default Do you own your car?

Genuine question - Scoobs now range from around £3k - £30k
There seems to be plenty of folk on here with expensive second cars.
I was just interested how many people have paid for their cars, and how many use loans / lease etc?
(Might persuade my self / SO to get something newer )

I think you'll find it's quite easy to pay more than £30,000

Paid with grubby notes in full - and the bank had run out of £50's so it was all in £20's - made me look like some sort of drug dealer with a 6" thick wedge of cash !

Me too - I though more would be on credit. Maybe people in negative equity are too upset to vote!

Now, what would a loan cost me for a S202...

anyone got an estimate for what an import 55wrx wagon will be worth in 3 years time?

reason i ask is i bought it for around £17000 incl tracker/alarm + still need to underseal it+locking nuts, so its full UK spec.

i have £12000 owing on it and want to set up a DD into my loan so in 3 years time i should owe about what the car is worth 2nd hand.

cheers

I own my car outright but Halifax and Mint have helped with a few of the mods. Interest free so that's just dandy
