Hire Purchase
The simplest form of finance. Make a set number of payments, pay a final purchase fee and you own the car. This is what everyone would regard as "traditional finance".
Key Features
- You select what deposit you want to pay. The larger the deposit the smaller the payments.
- You make regular monthly payments to cover the outstanding balance plus any interest.
Key Personal Benefits - Vehicle ownership
- Repayments over fixed period
- Fixed interest rates for the duration
- Flexible deposit.
Personal Contract Purchase
Personal Contract Purchase, also known as PCP, is very similar to Hire Purchase except that an amount of money is deferred to the end of the agreement. Because you aren't paying off this deferred amount as you go the payments are significantly less.
This is quickly becoming the favoured method of finance and is recommended by Car Deal Warehouse. At the end of the contract you have three options:
- Make the final payment and keep the vehicle.
- Trade the vehicle back into the supplying dealer and use any excess value as deposit on new contract.
- Simply hand vehicle back to supplying dealer without further obligation (subject to excess mileage or damage charges).
