Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
A PCP allows lower monthly payments than an HP agreement, because a portion of the loan is set aside until the end of the loan agreement. Typical APR 10.9%.
- No deposit required.
- Fixed monthly payments for easy budgeting.
- Final balloon payment keeps monthly bills low.
- Provides the reassurance of a Guaranteed Future Value.
- At the end of the contract you have three choices:
- Take ownership by making the final payment.
- Hand the car back with nothing more to pay.
- If the car is worth more than the GFV, use this equity as a deposit for a new model.
- Loan periods vary from 12-42 months.
- Interest rate is fixed from day one.
- Acceptance fee payable at start.
- Early settlement is allowed.
- Minimum loan of £1000, subject to status.
