    He can buy the car today giving £3000 as account

    and pay 400 pounds per month for 30 months

    and drive is car just now

    If he waits until he has the whole £15,000 he must wait 150 weeks, about 35 months, almost 3 years

    Maybe the car will be out of production...

    And worst thing: he will be without a car for three years!

    That would be 150 weeks.

    Assuming four weeks in a month, that's 37.5 months. In reality most months are a bit longer than that, so it would be slightly less.
