just looked at the virign website on 0% for 16months on balance transfer, but only 0% on card purchases for 6 months.

so for the balance transfer, need to get or have current credit card and load it up and then transfer it within the month before interests is charged; is that right? (assuming virgin excepts and balance transfer can be sorted out before being hit with current credit card interests)

could be an option, say for a small amount of £3k (handling charge of 2.98%) is less than £100, which makes spreading £3k over 16 months quite good


Spot on - exactly what Im doing with my current card - 0% runs out in Nov and I'll go for the Virgin card if I dont clear it by then. I can clear it right now but at the mo all my money is being saved for my ED30! Once I have my ED30 I'll start clearing my card.

May as well use the banks at their own game ;)

cool
thanks

something to consider for sure

I'm Pretty sure it's illegal to sell a car with any outstanding finance privately, it should be paid off before selling it, that's why you do an HPi check to see amongst other things if the car has any outstanding finance. The last car i sold i did the deal, waited for the cheque to be in hand and then as soon as it cleared paid the finace off on a card, possibly slightly dodgy but i was clear with the buyer that this is what i was going to do.

Spoke to 2 different people when I rang for a settlement figure at VW Finance and both said that I could sell it with remaining finance on the vehicle but said to tell the buyer that there is finance remaining but will be cleared when the car has sold. They will probably check themselves anyway so best to be honest from the start.
sorry but my vaux looks far better than the mk5 gti, thats why i bought it  :wink: faster too  :grin:  :tongue:

Just interested to know how many of you guys funded you GTI/MK5?

Did you purchase from new or used?
If new, did you pay 100% up front, or purchase on credit?

I mugged old ladies over a 8 week period to raise the money.
