Looking to do some finance on my purchase been quoted approx 10% APR by Oracle Finance.

Anyone got anything lower? I have a very good credit score do not sure if anything lower is achievable.

Thanks

Although I generally agree with the above, it doesn't necessarily apply if you own a company and are taxed on what you take out of the company. It can work out much more efficient to service a loan at 5% APR than to pull out a lump sump and pay 40% tax on it.

This. Plus then you can spend more money on growing the business, and get the cool toys you like.

I agree 100% with this; can't decide whether to finance my Vantage or pay cash..... company is doing well, I have no debt (other than the mortgage) so not sure on what's best. I think I'll probably pay cash but we'll see smile
