Excellent review guys
You don’t expect this kind of shoddy workmanship on a Skoda Fabia let alone a prestige car costing 85k plus when new…..
Washed away like they all do. Matt could have used his nail varnish to paint them back in. He had 2 months to do it...Where are the red stripes on the emblem on the grille?
Thought the same when I watched it. Sounds like he is not going to keep it for long anyway.I'm no car finance whizz but how can financing a 26k QP be only £100/month less than financing a £175k Scuderia? Maybe he put 140k down on the ferrari ?!
Or maybe its something to do with predicted residuals, but neither are going down in value.
If that’s only costing him £100 a month less than his 430 scuderia I wonder What he paid for it. Must be over different length term, surely.
If it’s based on anticipated future value, it makes sense, the Wonky Donkey might loose £10k in 5 years but what’s the QP going to be worth? a packet Tropical Fruit Bubblicious and some Skittles.
Oi, leave the Skoda Fabia alone! Our has in 5 years covered 65K miles and is brilliant and not needed a thing other than (very reasonable cost) servicing. Completely solid in every respect and still super shiny when given one of its two washes a year. We love it and it will stay with us as long as it keeps doing what it is doing for as little as it costs to do it.
Other than that I agree with everything you say, and shame on Maserati.
Got it!Ah,
You need to read it the other way…I wouldn’t expect these issues in a Skoda let alone a Maserati. My Dad has a Fabia and it has been very reliable indeed.
He put about 50k deposit into the Scud on a LP deal so in reality is probably very close to financing the interest only. The QP will be small deposit (if any) and a HP agreement with ownership at the end of the term so not really comparable.I'm no car finance whizz but how can financing a 26k QP be only £100/month less than financing a £175k Scuderia?
