Unless u want to change in less than 3 years this is the way to go as the monthlies will be lower on a 4 year deal.

At the end of the day you're buying a depreciating asset. Throwing a larger deposit in is just throwing money into a deal that could be making you a profit invested elsewhere. This is rarely a smart move.

And you should be looking to get £10k off. It's a decent deal but not a great one.
But better deals are always available. You have to decide on a price you're happy with and then go for it. Someone will always come back saying they got more discount.

Good luck
Thanks. They seem to be making 3-4k in interest out of me so surely they can do better than a DTD dealer who will be getting cash for all they know..
I'll see how tomorrow goes
