    Geely E2 Apex, pull the trigger or am I going mad?

    Interesting and assume they wanted 7 year term in exchange for the best rate? I had the luxury of a paid up access bond to purchase my car. All extra money goes in here asap to reduce interest since its calculated daily. Just make sure you stick to the extra 25k in your case to make sure you...

    Geely E2 Apex, pull the trigger or am I going mad?

    Initiation fee of the contract is just over R1200. If you get a cash quote from the dealership and compare it to a financed quote you should be able to see if they are loading up on anything extra. No chance is any car finance going to give prime minus especially on low capital amounts. Would...

    Cape Town’s plan to cage 60 baboons has triggered a bitter dispute

    There's a lot of logical reasons. Think this mainly has to do with development in the area and good opportunity to save costs/effort on free range baboon monitoring. CoCT funds this largely by themselves even though it's not a municipal responsibility. Other issues - safety, cars, dogs, electric...

    Stealerships

    I approached 3 dealerships for the same vehicle. Told all of them that I would finance if their interest rate was lower than my bond. This is usually impossible and they can't give you answers unless you do an application. So I ended up with 3 quotes with cash discount, extras etc. Once I...

    They threw in a tow bar to 'sweeten the deal' (8k on the invoice) which they had to get fitted so they must be well pissed. When they contacted me to fetch the plates, the sales person had left for another job opportunity so it wasn't even awkward doing that.

    If it's over 250 there's generally an early settlement clause which forces you to pay the finance house 3 full months of interest to get out of the agreement. They will probably add this amount to your settlement quote. Anything under this amount legally they can't do jack. It actually says...

    Yip. All that extra shite comes in at exorbitant costs and then you must pay interest on it at a stupid rate. By the time you need that extended service you have paid a lot more than its actually worth 4-5 years later Seems like the only thing most people are concerned about is lower monthly...

    I bought a new car recently. The plan was to finance for under 240k this allows be to benefit from 'finance discount' but then just pay off instantly from my paid up access bond which has a much better interest rate. We agreed on price and completed the full finance application then had to...

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    The OG Coca Cola needs no such introduction. If someone can't tell the difference between it and its inferior imposters they should be tarred and feathered.
