Right quick update - I've been going through the costs and I can't get over the £6552.15 'Hire Purchase' charges that LR are quoting me Shocked

Just seems like a huge charge added in the mix - This is going through their PCP finance at 6.9%, but still this charge is huge and adds to the total paid Shocked

Anybody know if there is an alternative to a PCP deal with LR, do other finance companies out there do one?

TO be honest I think the car is a bit on the high side for my budget, so looking to see if better way to finance or I look for a cheaper car

And this is me, not SWMBO inputs - Slept on it and I'm worried about that HP charge they are adding on

I'm assuming the payments are in the region of £500pm? 6.9% is pretty much the norm for non-subsidised these days, so you will struggle to knock that charge back much.

Only suggestion I could make is to park the idea for 12 months and put that £500pm in the bank so you can reduce the overall finance when you buy buy a more expensive model for the same payment Whistle

To be honest Mrs Day is not happy with taking on such a high dept, especially when she looked at the quite and saw that £6552, monthly is around £500 at £492.15

I do like the thought of putting the £492 away for 12 months - also in 12 months the D4's I like will be cheaper also.

God this process is tough! Emotions all over the place, like a kid in a sweet shop one day, then sat with spreadsheet and next day thinking 'This is loads of money'! Shocked

Big Cry One min I think Censored it just do it, next thinking ' Censored it that's a tone of cash Laughing

Is PCP the only option for you Iggy?

When we bought SWMBO's D4 last autumn LR tried to push us down the PCP route but in the end we opted for a private bank loan for which the rates were less than half the PCP. It should be possible to get a loan at around 3% still....

As waterbuoy says there are lower interest bank loans and some banks also do PCP at lower rates than LR.

I hate borrowing money but have convinced myself PCP is really just running costs to have a new or new-ish car in my drive every couple of years. Given depreciation costs on moving in a car bought in full can justify it to myself Wink

If you want the safeguard of PCP GFV, take the Land Rover PCP and then pay off all of the loan apart from the GFV using a supermarket rate loan. You still pay the 6.9% on the GFV, but it will save a huge amount of money.

If you can borrow 25k at approx 3.5% apr on a personal loan over 5 years the payments would be £454 a month & there would be no balloon at all. The total interest would be £2240 on that basis which is much more reasonable.

I dont know how much you were looking to borrow - but if it was around the 25k mark then this would be the route i would take. Even if you sold the car after 3 years you would only owe approx £10500 which the car would be worth much more than. It would be 5400 after 4 years & you would own it at 5 years.

PCP gives you security, but it not always the best way to fund.

I have a little understanding of PCP,s and as a private buyer I yet to see any benefit that would attracted me to them, as other have said a good old personal loan takes some beating .I have had offers through from my credit card company at 2.9% with a 1% credit back to the account so in fact in reality its a 1.9% loan over the period of the loan .
TBH all its a rip off here is a prime example we have just ordered a new kitchen
6 months interest free then you can pay the balance or switch to finance agreement at the knockdown price of 17.9% PA Rolling with laughter I think I may well take the former option
Iggy a few years a go we brought two new BMW M3's I told the in house finance manager to stick his rate and walked out before we got to the car he was running across the car park he now had a much better rate we can offer Rolling with laughter
The bottom line is as my switched on wife tells the dealer who thinks that we just cant walk away
"were not emotionally attached to you car " don't let you heart rule your head were money is concerned there will be better deals elsewhere
I hope you get the right deal for you Thumbs Up looking forward to seeing it

Woody just texted me....Told me to have a break from looking at cars, take SWMBO and Max for a walk, have a nice weekend free from car searching, take some deep breaths and then see what happens on Monday - I think I'll do that as he is "All knowing" (And also scares me Laughing )

I did have finance set-up at 3.2% with Hitachi finance, so up to £25k with my car on top - so I think when I do return I need to be looking at a more realistic price and slightly older car.

Amazing what LR charge, they offered Gap insurance at £699 Shocked I know I can get this for £150 or so elsewhere Laughing

Anyway, I'm now taking a break from car searching this weekend Thumbs Up
