OK, this question is not as dumb as it first sounds.
Like everyone else, I spec'd up a nice one on the LR configurator and ended up over £62K with ease.
My question is this:
You see thousands of new LR products on the roads, especially RR Sports, RRs and soon the D5, yet what I don't understand is where people are getting finance deals that make it in any way affordable.
With LR finance you're looking at £750-£1500 a month, depending on your deposit, mileage and months.
That's a second mortgage payment every month, and even then, at the end, you still don't own it!
In Burnley its definitely drug dealing.You can do an NVQ in it at Burnley college

man maths
fact is a 65k plus interest is 70 odd thousand pounds and any finance deal has to present a plan to some how pay that off in 2-4 years so its gonna hurt no matter who you go with. LR finance can be pretty good with incentives MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Maybe look at it this way ... you are getting a £70k motor but only paying around a 1/3 of that over 3 years then handing it back for a new one on the same terms ...therefore after 9 years you will have had 3 new motors always covered by warranty for the price of one new one. Don't get bogged down in 'owning it' unless you want to keep it long term and run it into the ground.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

spot on DG. Said it before on here, personally i just see my monthly finance as a car subscription and always change before I own it. Sometimes I have to put hardly anything into the next one i just hand the keys back and take a new one MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Pretty much as RDR says, I'm an LR addict, I've been looking at other cars but always find a way to justify the price. I don't have a wife so that's one obstacle out the way 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Technically no wife but a SWMBO of 20 years, 3 kids, 3 dogs, horse, cats, chickens, countless small fury things its a lot of mouths to feed :blu:
some how i still manage to justify the permagrin
I thought about buying my current one outright but at a list of £65k I've put that money to much more profitable use than the saving of 6.7% interest or what ever it was. Swings and round about and definitely down to personal circumstances.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Definitely
Nice looking college though, I was part of the 2 year build! That wasn't in the prospectus when they advertised it though!

Perspective
A 76k FFRR cost you 48k over 35 months (LR pcp figures)
A 1/3rd of 76 is is 25 - bit if a difference there then
Without price rises that's 144k over 9 years
That's the cost over having a new 76k car every 3 years
Gotta love left wing maths (ppi anyone)Illegitimi Non Carborundum
