  • Surely no one is actually buying these cars with their own money. To me they only make sense as company cars on BIK.

  • People are mad, remember. Average spend on a car on finance is 19% of take home income. So it’s perfectly normal to spend £1000 a month on a car if you’re earning £80k. Mad, but normal.

  • But…. but… 80k…. Normal? Mad.

  • This is insane to me. But perhaps explains the cars of neighbours round our way a bit more.

  • this is crazy. I wonder if it also goes some way to explaining why so many short trips are made by car?

  • It’ll be something that explodes when interest rates blow up on more and more peoples mortgages in the next few years.

    Defaults on PCP / lease will become commonplace. If that takes the bottom out of the used car market, it’ll make new cars even less affordable as GFVs will take a dive too.

    Our car payment is only 6.8% of monthly net income which still seems a little high.
