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?

Can I do PCP on a second-hand car?
Is it possible to do a PCP on a second-hand car from a garage or does it have to be new? I was considering doing this with a F10 BMW 5 Series and taking the worry out of depreciation etc. I would have a sizeable deposit.

Why is there a difference in VW Group finance rates?
Why are SEAT and Skoda able to offer finance at 4.9%, but VW only does 5.9%? All three are provided by the Volkswagen Bank, right?

Where to go for car finance?
I know finance is hard to come by these days but I'd really like to buy a new car. Where should I go first to get finance because I don't want to be turned down by loads of banks?
