All part of the grand plan of the central funksters and debt pedalers to try and kick life into a failing economy as part of their much vaunted MMT 'great reset'. Seems we are facing a growing scenario of asset inflation spilling over into consumer pricing against a very real problem of dwindling purchasing power in the context of shrinking productivity and demographics. Meanwhile, the reality of wear and tear will unfailingly come to the fore, except, that is, for us Jazz drivers. 100,000 round the corner for me and only just run in. Fingers crossed, of course
"Central funkster and debt pedalars"
Brilliant. I've just had to google MMT, but I know what that is. Keynesianism economics. My head aches now. The numbers involved are not possible for mere mortals to comprehend.......
https://www.usdebtclock.org/ A dealer principle, yes that is how quiet they were, was pitching the current Honda pcp on a Civic G10. The term "we give you" was used so many times it was bordering on misleading. Ultimately, it works out that I hand over £13+k to 'borrow' a car for 3 yrs and then give it back to them. Now, this must make sense to some people, and the APR of 4.9% seems low enough, but I am of the opinion that should I spend £13+k, I want to at least have something to show for it other than 36months of car hire.
I liked the Civic 10 a lot, crazy styling and felt very premium. They just have a bit more depreciating to do and then I could see one on our driveway. Oh, and I will be spending less than £13k and actualy own the car from bumper to bumper.
I don't think I will be visiting another gin palace for a while.
Our 2013 Jazz has just clicked over 96000 miles and still feels like a 3yrs old car to me.
