How does it work?

With Personal Contract Purchase you can keep your monthly payments lower by deferring a significant proportion of the amount of credit to the final payment at the end of the agreement. Agree an initial deposit, how many miles you are likely to travel each year and how long you want the agreement to run for and the dealer will then calculate the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) of your vehicle and confirm your monthly payment. We will submit the finance application to the finance company and subject to your application being approved; you can just drive your car away.

The options at the end of the agreement are:

• Part exchange the vehicle subject to settlement of your existing finance agreement; new finance agreements are subject to status.

• Return the vehicle and not pay the Final Lump Sum Payment. If the vehicle is in good condition and has not exceeded the allowed mileage you will have nothing further to pay. If the vehicle has exceeded the allowed mileage a charge for excess mileage will apply.

• Pay the Final Lump Sum Payment to own the vehicle.

The benefits

• Flexibility - Set payment periods from two to four years, then take the best option for you when you reach the end

                         You like to keep your options open
                         You like to budget

Agree an initial deposit and how long you want the agreement to run for and the dealer will then calculate your final payment and confirm your regular monthly payment. The dealer will submit the finance application to us and subject to your application being approved, you can just drive your car away.

The options are:
(1) pay the Final Lump Sum Payment to own the vehicle or
(2) part exchange the vehicle subject to settlement of your existing
finance agreement; new finance agreements are subject to status.
