Car Finance
There are lots of decisions to be made when buying a car.
Hire Purchase
This is a simple and popular option. It involves you hiring a vehicle from a finance company for an agreed time period.
The lender can repossess the car if you miss payments. But after you've made the final payment, the vehicle is yours. You own it outright.
In short: Higher payments. You can own the car after a final payment.

Similar to HP, PCP differs in the following ways. You pay only the depreciation of the value of the vehicle. Not its full value. So the monthly payments will be lower. But, at the end of the agreement, if you would like to own the vehicle, you’ll have to pay a lump sum.
The lender can repossess the car if you miss payments.
In short: Lower payments. You can change cars more often without the hassle. A lump sum is needed to secure ownership.

You and your credit rating
Your credit rating is an estimate of your ability for meet your financial commitments, this is calculated based on your credit history. It is good to keep an eye on your Credit Rating, particularly if you are looking to purchase something like a mortgage for a house or a new car. Your rating affects how trustworthy companies feel you are and the better your credit rating the better the rates you will get.
Selecting the right car
We appraise all of the car dealerships that we work with to ensure that you, the customer have the best experience possible. The dealerships we work with are expected to meet and keep, a high level of customer service when both purchasing your new car and after the sale. This means that there may be some car dealerships that we recommend against using and as such will try to find an alternative car of the same spec to the one you have found.
