How Finance Works
What is Hire Purchase?
Hire Purchase is a finance product that allows you to budget accurately by giving you a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly payments. The deposit and length of the agreement can be easily adjusted letting you customise the agreement to your budget. Because the vehicle acts as the security for the agreement, other forms of credit remain available to you for future use. Hire Purchase agreements can be settled at any time. At the end of the term you will take full ownership of the vehicle.
What is Personal Contract Purchase?
Personal Contract Purchase, or PCP, is a finance product that lowers your monthly payment by deferring part of the payment to the end of the agreement. Your deposit, monthly payment, annual mileage and final payment can be adjusted to your needs. The agreement can be settled at any time.The deferred payment is calculated using industry data to predict the value of your vehicle at the end of the agreement. Opting for a lower deferred payment can increase equity giving you more to put as a down payment on your next purchase.
What is Conditional Sale?
A simple method of financing that gives you the certainty of a fixed interest rate, and fixed monthly payments throughout the agreement. The initial deposit and repayment period can be structured to help meet your budget and the length of time you expect to keep the vehicle. The deposit can be constructed form the trade in value of your current vehicle or in cash.
