I have spoke to kam before and his rates were very good but he needed to much paperwork sent to him where as RR only need a signature so it was easy to go with them, not sure if things have changed kams end.

Well I would go with Kam (and have done in the past) a few extra signatures and a bit more paperwork maybe but you will save a good few £'s - but you might not worry about that. The choice is yours. Ring up a dealer and ask for a quote. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Spoke to dealer yesterday about their advanced payment plan, £30k in and no payments for two years.

After reading here though I think a small deposit with monthly payments look like a better way to do it, ie leaving say £26k in the bank and giving a £4k deposit and letting the chunk of money in the bank pay the monthly.

Not sure myself but at a guess I would say better to put a big deposit down as the interest you pay will be more than you would make from a bank. If however £26k could be used to make a better return than 9% put a small deposit down. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Yep indeed...
The banks require more paperwork as the clients we put forward, they have no dealings with directly (in the car departments) so they have to take everyone on paper view so the more paper they have the better.

Usually clients go through straight away on initial proposal though, but for higher borrowing amounts.. its usually a bit more trickier.. Once they have you on the books though, 2nd/3rd cars are always easier.. and less paperwork i.d./ anti impersonation checks are required, and you have a track record with them in terms of borrowing and monthlies etc..

Every case is different, same as borrowing with anyone really.. mortgages/loans from the bank etc.. so can't comment on each and everyone, but we do try and minimise the red tape where possible.. but at the end of the day, its us asking for cash from them, and they lose money all the time with cars dissapearing etc, so its only understandable they ask questions up front..

In terms of cash and deposits etc..

Its really a personal choice, and one that each client again is different on everytime. I always say when people ask me.. cash in or finance? at the end of the day, for every £ you borrow you're paying interest on it.. so the less you borrow the less the car will cost you over the term of ownership..

I can only tell you what i do personally.. as i wouldn't want to advise anyone on their own cash positions etc as thats outside the parameters of our company role really... but on a personal level, i don't put any cash into my cars and i borrow 100%.. we all do, all my family members... why? no its not because we buy what we can't afford (like another typical comment we get from some people who have no inkling about finance etc - as the bank don't usually give out money they don't deem the client can pay back or at the least cover the depreciation..) but if i put £40k on my driveway in cash.. then for me personally, that £40k cash is going to go one way and that is down.. down.. down... as cars depreciate.. we all know that too well!

Im not that flush with cash (yet) that i can afford to do this, but im still in a state where my business and my personal financial situation is very much in a state of affairs where im looking for expansion, for growth on my money etc... i have limited capital so i choose to invest this where its more likely to go up.. so like VA says, if i can get a return greater then 9% on my £, i would rather put my money there, then on the driveway..

We do have clients who spend way beyond their means, and put £100's of K on the drive, and no real way of paying it off if things went wrong, but thats their choice and a risk they take on the cars, but they believe the depreciation on the cars, they will beable to handle, and the banks think so too so its fair played.

We do have some clients though, that have a lot of cash, can't be asked to make any more money as they have reached that state in their own personal affairs, so we simply source them the cars, and they pay cash for them... its helps us as a company as it increases our purchasing portfolio over time and we're more likely to do better business and get better discounts the next time round..

So, what are the up to date figures on a TDV8, say with £6,£7,£8k deposit over 48 with end payment 6000 miles per year.
