Looks like Ultimate Black. Same colour as my first XFR.
It was a bastard to keep clean but looked suitably demonic.
I've been thinking about your purchase, Opti, and it dawned on me that you'd bought new. I must say I'm surprised at this, you'll be giving the government a fortune in VAT, which you'll never get back.
As I said.
My intention was to buy a 2 or 3 year old car. for about 50% of the full list price. However, the prices were too close for comfort to a brand new car with a 3 year manufacturer warranty.
Second hand prices are silly at the moment.........you know what your Astra is (still) worth.
Hmmmm.....yes....I understand, but c.£7000 is still a lot of VAT. I guess you looked at the numbers, so you know what's what, but that would definitely stick in my craw.
Then again...you can't take it with you, and it's earning naff all sat in the bank. Horses for courses, I guess.
Yep....PCP deal was 5.9%.....money in bank about 1%.
I feel sorry for John, this thread is going way off now, but.....
You can open a Chase current account online in about ten minutes. There is a savings account attached to it that pays 1.5%.
Account is serviced by mobile app only, but the people on MSE forum speak highly of it.
Was this on Martin Lewis last night?
Don't know, didn't watch. It's been in the Best Buy tables for a while now, lots of discussion on MSE forum. But no need to trawl through that, the bank's site will have all the info.
No joint account...yet. When that option becomes available, I'll be jumping in. That's providing the BOE haven't raised the base rate to around 3% by then, better rates will be available when/if they do.
