car credit advice

[dickie davies]

Not high on the intricacies of purchasing a car (although soon to do so myself*), but if eligible would a zero percent credit card not be the ticket (should be able to get anywhere up to 25 months to clear it)?

*Anyone's advice on electric cars appreciated.............

Depends if the seller would accept a purchase by credit card

Evans Halshaw are horrendous, my wife got a written apology from the Chief Exec a few years ago after one of their dealerships were openly misogynist to her.

She turned up for a test drive that she’d booked in advance. Was told to wait and sat there for almost 45 minutes until she went to see what was going on, until the branch manager said he’d “presumed she was waiting for her husband to get here”.

Eventually got to the car, sat in it and had a look around, pressed a few buttons before the salesman asked does she “know what she’s doing or does your man usually start a car for you?”

Started up and the fuel light and bell went, she pointed this out to the salesman who insisted it was just because the car was being started on a cold day and that she should leave things like that to “guys”. Obviously got less than half a mile before the car stopped, completely empty.

Phoned the dealer who said he’d get there when he “had time” and that she “shouldn’t drive a big car like that if she’s not used to it”.

Waited the best part of an hour before the dealership manager arrived and accused her of being too melodramatic and she’d obviously stalled it and asked whether her feet reached the pedals. She again pointed out the big flashing fuel light and that the screen said it was completely empty. He told her to wait with the car whilst he phoned for a mechanic to bring a can of petrol and wandered off.

She abandoned it in a bus stop and came home.

Evans Hashaw are a pain in the arse when buying a car. The fuckers charged me £225 just for having the temerity to buy a motor off them. And it took hours to sort out the 'paperwork', which was, in fact, a selling exercise. I mean, who needs 'upholstery protection' insurance....?

I'm going to make a little prediction here, and I hope I'm proven wrong.
When the op asks for his deposit back, they will tell him 5 working days to transfer it.
But I'm willing to bet that when he put his deposit down, the money disappeared like a fart in the wind.

obvs..

If you can - never get car finance through a car dealership. Go to a Bank and get a loan. Then buy your car with cash.

She should have taken the keys with her.

Daughter number 1 bought a car from Evans halshaw and it was a £99 fee. I was with her at the time and should have told the sales guy to fuck off as they will waive the fee
He also tried to sell us all kinds of warranties. I wrote them down, totalled them up and then said to him "if we took these policies out, then we've almost doubled the price of the car"
He very quickly shut up

Halfway through getting the car off 'em my wife was rushed to hospital. After i got the call i told the salesman to give me the keys immediately and was out of the showroom 5 minutes later.

She should have taken the keys down the side of the car.

That is shocking behaviour from them.
