I did notice this but even the cheapest new options with dealer/manufacturer contributions were £12-16k over the ex-demo options available (which were all premium line) so it's a huge leap on top of the big jump I'm already considering.If you are looking at cars this new (and particularly diesels) do check how much you could get a new one for. If you look at the stock lists of the big MB chains (Mercedes Retail Group, Sytner, Sandown etc etc) they are stacked out with diesel E-Class models with substantial “manufacturer support” (Mercedes-speak for discount). No petrols though which gives you some idea of the way the market is going. If you need finance, the PCP interest rate on used cars is 2x that on new cars.
haha that's brilliant! Is this easy to do? I found this youtube link that seems to agree with you entirely (withdrawal method is best ey???)...I did this with the wife's Golf and I didn't even pay one payment, I cleared the finance the day we picked it up. Apparently the important thing is to 'Withdraw' from the agreement, not ask for a settlement.
It cost us about £8 in interest, calculated from the day we signed the finance agreement to the day we Withdrew. This was because VW were offering 2 years warranty, servicing, MOT's and Breakdown if you bought on finance. We still got all of these benefits after we Withdrew.
