I do, it's worth thousands in some cases. Take the finance and as soon as you take possession simply inform the finance company that you want to cancel. Easy, no interest payments and you keep any incentives offered as part of the deal.

That’s actually a good idea, is it praticed or just an idea? Thinking on it, usually there is a 14 day cool off.

It's in the legislation. You can do it at anytime from day one, to month whenever. But it only works for finance from the dealer. I always do it, they don't like it but tough. Bought an Audi once, £4.5 k discount just for taking finance. Easy money. Oh, and lifeshine and their ilk is not worth the money and gap can always be sourced more cheaply elsewhere.
