Financing car parts?
« on: March 05, 2013, 06:44:23 pm »
Anyone know if there's places that allow you to finance car parts?

Looking to get a forge FMiC and neuspeed throttle body pipe.

I'm currently buying a numberplate so trying to finish the car is hurting the wallet

Again none of my business but I wouldn't recommend it. We live in a world now where people are tricked into thinking we can afford something we can't. Just buy it when you have the cash for it. If you never have the cash for it, then it's probably something you should knock on the head

Save up and buy it cash - you'll feel so much better about it when it arrives and you'll save yourself a packet in interest!

As said, save for it, another thing to think about is if the parts break or wear out you are still going to be paying for something that is useless!

Lol, you're making a mistake asking that question round here. All you'll get is the holier than thou anti-finance stance.

Any reason why a general purpose loan wouldn't suit?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Tescos do 16 months 0% interest on purchases with their Clubcard Credit Card.

And that is what has happened by and large.

I don't understand how you'll 'enjoy it more' if it's paid outright. If I bought a Mk7 GTI on finance I think I'd enjoy it every bit as much as if I paid for it from my bank account.  :confused:

I normally pay for my expensive mods on credit card then pay it back over the next couple of months.

I dont see a problem with using credit to buy things for the car as long as you are careful and dont let the debt get too big.

A 20 odd grand car is a bit different from a couple of hundred pounds worth of mods.

It's not the amount, it's the principle.

If I borrow 50p to buy a packet of smarties they'll taste just as good.
If I borrow 300k to buy a house I like I'll enjoy living in it.

If I don't like smarties or I buy a poor quality house I will be disappointed.

I don't really follow your point? I don't really follow my own point either however!  :confused: :confused:
