With 2k fee's, for a 2 year deal, if your mortgage is under 200k you would be better off with IngDirects Variable rate, over 200k its not a bad deal but I bet HSBC variable rates could beat it.

Being 'Average Earners', myself and my g/f haven't really noticed it.

I've seen a 40k 360 for sale locally to me well 45k but they would take 40k for it. So I went and had a look. http://www.christopherjacksonltd.com/vehic...Ks%20BEST%20BUY
Tatty car in ladbyboy blue that was on Sale or Return. Not a great deal and not for me.

They did have but must have sold a very sensibly priced Bentley GT though.
