APR, how do they do it

The Wife had her new car back in September, last year, the finance being (at the time) a competitive 4% (or so) APR. There was no point in changing it, until we did a bit of digging, and found, she can have the same car (on the latest reg) with finance at 0.7% APR, this means, right from the start of the agreement, 95% of each repayment is capital, and only 5% interest, she gets the New, new one next week.
Sorry all you savers out there, but, with Mortgages at about 2%, and car finance at sub 1%, there has never been a better time to be in debt.

Changing cars that frequently is an easy way to haemorrhage money !
Also, being in debt is not a good thing imo. Debt = slavery.

You may well be right, but, we benefit from a discount, so can offset depreciation, am a slave to the spreadsheet, to know, when to changes again.
