Euro : Owned or finance?

[PNR888]

I paid my Euro outright.. almost emptied my bank account back then
.

Alpine: Which dealer in BNE accept Credit card for car purchase?? I thought they only accept bank cheque or cash (as in notes)...

For that sort of money the dealer must have factored it into the price. A 1.5% credit card fee on a $35k car is a whopping $525 transaction fee for the dealership.
Not the sort of money a dealership gives away

Yeah... it's all factored into the final price. I was able to put $4k on my credit card for some points.

Paid outright...via credit card and got a bizillion rewards points which I've since used to get lots of cool free stuff. Of course I paid out the credit card once the statement arrived so no interest had to be paid.

you indeed have high credit limit on ur credit card hehe,

I paid outright too. I paid my deposit by credit card, no surcharge.

[bigdongers]

I financed my CRV. Its a tax write off for work and also, I dont have that much cash to spend on the car at once.

Paid outright. You pay a lot more with finance.

Finance - complete tax write-off so I can spend my money on other things. And in 3 years time, I'll just upgrade to another car.

[tknova]

Finance for me... I'm only 21... But, put down a 20k deposit...

[PERTH_EURO]

finance

20k deposit rest to pay off

[Entity]

finance
no deposit
they will earn 8k interest over the 5 years.

i think dad can claim 30% of it... because its not fully work car.

interesting results here, seems 50/50. Financing a car has its pro's and con's, just comes down to who you are and the money involved.
