I'm currently married to a Honda, which I'm trying to divorce. I don't think I'm ready for another serious relationship just yet  :D

 

Just got my worst hiding ever with a trade in .... :wacko:

 

who would have thought that regarding a Toyota RAV4 ... :eek:

as far as I know CWC will not have a black friday special....

 

imagine my absolute surprize when I saw an item at a lower price than yesterday ....

 

did not have to look far to spot the one that was UP 10% from last night .... SURE most "specials" (at any and all retailers) will be more hype than actual saving

That money you are "getting back" must come from somewhere though.

 

So what they do is take the discount/margin in the vehicle and use that to offset the monthly payments.

 

Rather take the discount and buy the vehicle at well below Retail price.

 

  • Your total finance cost will be +-R100k less over the period (depending on discount that they give)
  • If you finance @ retail price you will be married to that vehicle as you wont be able to get a trade in price close to what you owe the bank (even more so on a Volvo)

That first year will be magic though :devil:

Firstly you’re not totally wrong but not totally right. The most you would have gotten officially off a 60 would have been 60k, so your getting more.

And if your smart about it you pump the additional income back into the car and reduce that capital.

 

Secondly, the days of not being able to trade in a Volvo have gone, they now trade equally and sometime even better than their German equivalent.

I bought my Honda CRV for R260k in April last year, and got offered 120k for it yesterday by Toyota. Can you beat that?

I am really trying to stop kneeling at Mammon's altar. My rampant materialism must be curbed. My coffee break routine of browsing the classifieds on avforums and bikehub ... the finely curated whitelist of retailers that pop up in my gmail promotions tab .... the frisson of the dopamine hit as my eagle eye spots a bargain ...

 

Ooooohhh i NEED an IDT .... WAHOO!!!!

Great Black Friday savings:

 

1. Lock up the credit cards, stay at the office (focussed on work, not online sites)

2. Don’t get drawn into al the hype. Its such bs.

OUCH !!!

 

Thanks for making me feel better about "only" losing 35% in 2 years ....

 

 

My entry level Etios only lost 20% in 5 years.  Absolutely convinced it is one of the best no-frills daily runners out there !

Seems the payment systems are doing their normal freeze up and implode black friday special. We give a lot of flak to the retailers for their websites crashing, and forget about this major hiccup. Have struggled now with 2 different places in the space of a few hours.

Now there are two... Zwift better be extra nice now :D
