Quote from: HEAVIER THAN HELL
the only thing about getting stuff on finance from shops is that you always pay RRP - no room for haggling down the price when you're asking for 12 months at 0%, the finance company HOPE that you're gonna be unable to pay and have to spread the cost over a longer period at a rediculous % APR. you will also get cheques sent from the finance company for £1000+ that you only have to bank and you have yet another loan - scum of the earth these people are!!!

 :twisted:

you aren't getting it at 0%, if they'd give it to you for £200 less if you paid cash...  :)

Normally I would agree with you but some of the shops have some strange 0% offer that is being funded by some sort of 'get music to the people' fund - I can't remember who exactly - we tried hard to bargain Andertons down for our PA, offering to pay cash but they would not budge on the price - so we took the 0% - very odd....

I'd take my business elsewhere if the shop was that inflexible.
