Tell me more about PCP finance.

Hi, do most garages offer PCP finance and do they only offer it on new vehicles or would you be able to get it on a second hand car? I have always got Credit Union loans so haven't a clue about PCP, but it looks good.

Thanks so much

Are my maths on PCP payments right?

Why are final payments on PCP contracts so high? For every brand I look at, if I calculate the deposit plus finance cost plus final payment it seems I end up paying about nine or ten thousand more than the car is worth!

Can I get out of my PCP lease to get a van?

Hi, I have a car out on a PCP lease and it is about 15 months old, but I am starting my own business and need to trade the car for a van, but the settlement on the car is €18,500. I have around €5,300 paid though the dealer is telling me that a significant deposit would be required to come out of the PCP, but the van is around €20,000. Where do I stand?

Thanks for your time

Can you help with buying a MINI with outstanding finance?

Looking at at MINI One and the seller is emigrating back out of the country with some finance on her car I believe. How do I protect myself if I bought it off her and how do I ensure finance on the car is cleared?
