It was this that convinced me 😄

I’m not sure how they justify it being as expensive as Aston fixed price servicing!! Of course with Aston as soon as anything else needs doing all financial hell breaks loose!!

Yucky!!

@Cachaco131 runs outside with jug full of hot water!

you mean those americans have gone and changed the mother tongue?! whatever next 🙃

color has a u in it :D

Fair enough… in that case I likely just got into the exciting band then pulled back… but you still need to get up there from standstill and that bit didn’t feel urgent enough for me.

Agreed, but I thought the power delivery was fairly linear… I assume this means that it’s not getting a lot more bonkers as you approach the redline, hence even using 60-70% of the beans gives you a good idea of the acceleration? Having a maths degree I should probably know more about this but...

Well you can only comment on your experience. I felt the same… but no idea where the rev counter got to as the steering wheel almost totally blocked visibility of the screen!! I was giving it the beans though so assume I got over 4000

Ha! Which car is yours??!

Second blue car now under 90k!

Boy that’s sick. And i don’t mean in a good way!!

Yes I thought the blue seemed a little darker than I remember back in the mists of time…

Magma looks sultry! Is that an accurate colour representation?

I can’t believe they haven’t built glass piping into their 100m investment in this new production facility… it beggars belief you’d spend such a large amount and implement legacy tracking and management practices. Many players in the industry are crying out for this. Bizarre!!

Prices tumbling already… blue car reduced to 88k Doesn’t bode well for residuals when there’s a 1.5 yr waiting list and only 6 actual cars for sale…. They will be at list by Spring … which I’m sure the oracle @emiraspain has probably already told us 😂...

If your finances are tight you’re going to default on your car loan before your house mortgage

No one likes a show off!! 🤣

Well if only I’d get the checkout email it would force me to actually make a decision!

Exactly this for me. It’s been a loooong journey, and at times it has been exciting, tiring, frustrating and emotional. I’m not quite ready to just walk away yet. And just because the car might not be right for me doesn’t mean I’m not interested in what everyone else makes of it. I’m much more...

That’s a very long way of saying “we’re shit at planning, deal with it”

I mean it is icy after all…. I just lost control of the vehicle 😄

Sure, but aren’t you pretty much at the end of the term by then? Emira finance… 50% is c49k paid/remaining, balloon 46k, so you’re almost done when you’ve paid 49k off

That’s only if you wrote the car off though not if you default on payments?

I think this one needs it’s own thread 😃

As per my initial comment!! Mainly stating the bleeding obvious…

Only a subset of auto makers have captive (owned) finance providers. It’s normally specialists that are independent…

I disagree… the pcp model is self perpetuating Of course if the economy tanks, interest rates carry on rising, wages stagnate etc that’s a different thing and all purchases will reduce, cars included. Which of course is the intended effect of interest rate rises.

Exactly, the lender is taking the risk for a premium in rate Not sure about handing back though

The market is definitely down… I’m not sure there’s a surge of defaults yet… in the uk at least, although it may be coming In the uk there are extensions happening because of the supply chain issues for new cars

His writing style conveys that to me…. Never judge a book by its cover and all that I know but that twitter feed just made me cringe!! 🤮

The writer is an idiot?

I thought that was the whole idea behind the emira! Less conspiracy more design philosophy #forthemasses

One is marked as deposit taken… two have disappeared from autotrader How much evidence that is of sale is debatable!

Another 2 physical cars …. Both Blue 93k and 97. Blue market a bit saturated 😄 Green one reduced too. Feels like price settling mid 90’s for now https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202212152540587 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202212152538076
