    Was thinking of buying an iPad 2 at compub using their flexirent option. Is it worth doing this? Or is it a hidden ripoff?

    And are there any other ways I could get one and pay in installments? I don't have the money outright, but I do really want an iPad.

    Moved to Banking & Insurance & Pensions, as this is more of a personal finance option

    Its not though, Its more a consumer issue than anything else. Its nothing to do with banking, insurance or pensions. So please put it back or put it somewhere more appropriate than this.

    i tried to get it with flexirent to get a macbook pro and didn't get it cause i was only back working after 2 years unemployed and have guaranteed 48 months of work and loan was for 12 months. best bet would try harvey norman's quick credit get 12 months interest free and can pay back early, flexirent doesn't allow you to do that.

    Key question is what % APR are they quoting?

    Flexirent is an expensive option in the likes of Harvey Norman. Not sure about comp B.

    Save up and then buy it.
