With Personal Contract Purchase you can keep your monthly payments lower by deferring a significant proportion of the amount of credit to the final payment at the end of the agreement. Agree an initial deposit, how many miles you are likely to travel each year and how long you want the agreement to run for and the dealer will then calculate the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) of your vehicle and confirm your monthly payment. We will submit the finance application to the finance company and subject to your application being approved; you can just drive your car away.

The options at the end of the agreement are:

• Part exchange the vehicle subject to settlement of your existing finance agreement; new finance agreements are subject to status.
• Return the vehicle and not pay the Final Lump Sum Payment. If the vehicle is in good condition and has not exceeded the allowed mileage you will have nothing further to pay. If the vehicle has exceeded the allowed mileage a charge for excess mileage will apply.
• Pay the Final Lump Sum Payment to own the vehicle.
