Thanks.

I wouldn't touch PCP with a barge pole, it's a con and people are going to get hammered when they attempt to hand their cars back at the end of their deals if they aren't buying or renewing.
Could well be the cause of the next financial crash.

Re: Car Leasing
I’m sure the financially savvy can get the comparison between outright purchase and PCP / HP / Lease down to a t.
I’d rather own the car that I drive, and not be financially committed to X per month for 3/4/5 years.
Oh and bank loans are far cheaper than “dealer arranged” finance, no matter how much of a good deal they say it is.

Unsecured Personal loans are surely better if you don't have the cash to buy outright.
Re: Car Leasing
Difference between PCP/PCH and owning is that for the former you are effectively just financing the depreciation on the car while you have it, but for the latter you are financing the entire cost of the car. While owning gives you equity in the vehicle it is still a depreciating asset. General rule of thumb is to own something that appreciates in value and lease something that depreciates.
Main risk with PCP/PCH is that you incur excess mileage or damage repair costs when the vehicle is handed back, which can be expensive. However, if you own your car and rack up a lot of miles or damage it then its value upon sale will also fall. So a similar cost really, just one you have more flexibility as when to realise.
Remember if you fund through an unsecured personal loan or use hire purchase (where you pay off all of the loan over its life) then you still have to make monthly repayments, although these will typically be higher than PCP/PCH.
if you do decide to lease then I would note that me brokers charge an admin fee where others don't. This can add to the upfront costs. Also be mindful that a lot of brokers are simply one or two man bands who just ring around various suppliers to get the best deal. They will not be the firm actually supplying or financing the vehicle.
In conclusion, if you want a new car and don't do huge mileage (ie more than 15k per annum) then I would lease. However, if you are looking second hand and do high mileage then I would buy.

Re: Car Leasing
PCP's are goosed at the moment thanks to manufacturers putting pressure on dealers to register more and more vehicles. By doing this, they are driving down used car values and thus knackering future values of vehicles sold today.Right_winger wrote:That's my thoughts exactly.
Unsecured Personal loans are surely better if you don't have the cash to buy outright.
As an example, Mrs Darth got a Mini on a 4 yr PCP which at the end of four years was set to be valued at £9800. We now sit in month 34 of 48 and it is apparently worth £9500 right now.
The positive for us is that we will be able to hand the car back to BMW finance at the end of the contract (part of the end of contract PCP options) and walk away. However, an added benefit of specific car finance, whether it be HP or PCP, is the 'halfs and thirds' rule. This entitles us to hand back the vehicle to BMW finance once we have payed half of the total amount of the total amount repayable. This means we will in effect be able to hand back the vehicle a year early, all without impact on our credit rating.
In terms of this, BMW finance will now be left with a vehicle which was only paid for by three years of payments instead of four and worth less than what they thought it was going to be worth at this point in time.
The press are talking about a financial meltdown with regard to car finance. With examples like mine and the onset of an awful lot of BMW's/Mini's sat in their finance company's car park, when they are handed back, it's not hard to see why.

Re: Car Leasing
Interesting info that Darth, is that “Half’s and Thirds” written in the T&C’s.
We nearly bought a new Smart FORFOUR on PCP. On face value it was cheaper to buy it on PCP than cash. The monthly payments nearly worked, but I refused to give in to puppy eyes by the wife.

Re: Car Leasing
I'm coming to the end of a 3 year PCP on a Nissan X trail. I've had a letter saying I can hand the car back or pay £13250. Just checked on Parkers and the car is actually valued at 14300 so I'm toying with the idea of paying off Nissan and then flogging the car myself. Sounds like a no brainer but I prefer an easy life - don't want to end up not being able to sell.

Re: Car Leasing
Yes, CE. Usually under the early termination clause. The 'thirds' relates to how a finance company can come and repossess the car without a court order until you have payed over a third of the total repayable amount on the agreement.ClaretEngineer wrote:Interesting info that Darth, is that “Half’s and Thirds” written in the T&C’s.

Re: Car Leasing
Contract hire typically works out cheaper than PCP but you don’t have the option to buy at the end, which is fine for me as I don’t really want to keep the car beyond the lease anyway.
As for PCP being ‘goosed’ as Darth pointed out, I have to agree. Although the risk lies with the leasing companies not the lessor. The UK regulator is currently all over this. Once the sh1t hits the fan then PCP deals will either be withdrawn or become more expensive. So, if you want to lease a car, then I would do so sooner rather than later while the rates are still very attractive.
Interesting to note that there have been a few warnings from quoted companies of late on this very issue, with both Sixt Leasing and Pendragon both complaining about residual values. Signs the Market is starting to crack maybe...

Re: Car Leasing
Interestingly I worked out today what The finance sompany would have made had we payed the full value vs what they will actually receive from our payments plus the current value of the vehicle. Astoundingly they will lose out on nearly £4000 as a result of setting the GFV too high and us handing back early!kaptin1 wrote:Contract hire typically works out cheaper than PCP but you don’t have the option to buy at the end, which is fine for me as I don’t really want to keep the car beyond the lease anyway.

Get a few prices for the car from the likes of we buy any car and see what they will offer and take about 10% off as they will reduce the price when you see them.

Don't just use we buy any car though, there are other sites. I was recommended one on here a year ago where they came to the house, again it was a haggle but it beat the others.

Re: Car Leasing
Webuyanycar is now a division of BCA ( British Car Auctions ), for something like an X-trail, their offer will be £700 or so less than the car would be expected to fetch at a trade auction.

I'm a former senior Buyer in the motor trade, and from experience, selling privately is easy enough up to around £3,500 - £4,000. Much above that, and people are quite wary...I've prepared and sold a few for friends/family etc, I sold all privately at OK money, with the exception of a 5 year old BMW X1, priced at £9,500 which I ended up selling into the trade for £9,100...
At over £5,000, you need to be significantly below Dealer prices for someone to take the risk of a private sale, rather than the reassurance that a dealer has to offer....it may not be worth the effort !
Re: Car Leasing
I've sold many cars at well above that price level quite quickly. Many dealers (not all) just apply a mark up with no reassurance on offer.

I personally have little interest in owning a rusting lump of metal. As others have said, you can hand the car back at a certain point and terminate the contract if you feel the need.

Re: Car Leasing
My advice after today is to not lease at all.
I returned my Honda Civic after a 4 year 25000 mile lease last Friday and today I have been invoiced for £910 worth of "Damage" which they have stated is present. The list of damage includes dents to a panel which I know was replaced less than 6 months ago following an accident I had (in fact all panels except the drivers door and roof were replaced/repaired to new - total cost was just under £3k) - that particular panel was flawless. The other damaged stated includes scuffs to the alloy wheels - which I had repaired by an industry specialist 2 days before collection - it was only a 6 cm scuff which was 1cm more than the BVRLA guidelines, but I had it repaired anyway - it looks new as did all the alloys!
I even assessed the car with a chap from the Honda dealership where I purchased my new Civic using the BVRLA guidelines document, and I have taken approximately 50 photos.
I have disputed the invoice, and apparently they are going to send me videos and photos of the damage. I just dont believe that they think they can get away with this, it's bordering on criminal.

I am really angry about it, it has occurred to me that the person collecting my car could have damaged it in any way and I have no way of proving otherwise without highly accurate photos and evidence to prove otherwise. I have reviewed my photos, and there are all sorts of reflections that could mask potential damage - but I know that because the whole car was spotless bar a couple of panels were effectively new following the accident 6 months ago. I am also angry that I have no facility to inspect the car for myself - they have already sold it apparently (collected from me last Friday).
Absolutely fuming over this.

Re: Car Leasing
That's a disgrace. The point you could make is that you took 50+ photos of the car and didn't mention damage at that time because there was no damage! I'm sure you'll get it sorted, but it's just hassle you shouldn't have to go through.Rick_Muller wrote:Will do.

Re: Car Leasing
I think on a lease they are well known for picking out anything they can to charge you with. As the car is not yours, you have to hand it back and then pray to the gods of who you are leasing from and hope they don't sting you unfairly.Foshiznik wrote:Let us know how it goes.

PCP, as you have the option to own the car, you can exchange the car so you can avoid this situation.
The minimum GFV is based on fair wear and tear for handing back but if you exchange it, its irrelevant as its priced into the deal.

Re: Car Leasing
I’ve now seen the BCA report. All the doors have 10-30mm dents apparently, along with the nsr quarter panel.
Thought I’d look for the damage again on my photos...
Nope... can’t see any...
I am taking this as far as it goes. It really is a scam. Whatever it takes, the lying bastards won’t get away with it.

Re: Car Leasing
You have the evidence to prove contrary to their reports.
Have they provided evidence to support their claim of damages totaling £910?
Have you requested copies of the evidence?
If its proved that their is foul play, I'd be pursuing for damages for attempting to obtain money by deception.
As well as knowingly damaging a vehicle for the purpose of fraudulently claiming charges.

Re: Car Leasing
Thanks for that, I was sure it wasn't just my biased viewpoint. The salesman at the Honda dealership where I purchased my new Civic even stated to me it was already ready for the forecourt to sell, but I have spoken to him since and he is unwilling to put that in writing, which I understand.Foshiznik wrote:Looks immaculate in your photos.
I have a further 50+ photos of a lot of detail. Some even show the slightest of marks that are smaller than my fingernail, but I have the photos.
I have since escalated the issue up the management with the lease company. I have also reported to BBC Watchdog; BVRLA - who have replied that I need to follow the lease company disputes procedure; and I have also contacted 5 Live Investigates - who really like these types of story.
They didn't want the shitstorm I am going to give them

Re: Car Leasing
I have requested the evidence mate, but I have to wait up to 4 weeks for them to prepare it and send it to me. In the mean time the car is sat less than 8 miles from me in Bedford BCA waiting for auction on Monday. I have offered to remedy any damage I agree with, but they have refused stating that the car has already been sold, which I know is a lie.ClaretEngineer wrote:You have the evidence to prove contrary to their reports.

As far as damages are concerned, I am certainly going down that route. My health has been affected as I do suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and as such I am extremely susceptible to stressful situations.

Re: Car Leasing
Regards the BCA Auction, can you go and view the car? As a potential ''prospective'' buyer?

Re: Car Leasing
I had considered that, but you need to be "approved" to visit the site. I have to apply to be a buyer, which may take longer than Monday.ClaretEngineer wrote:Regards the BCA Auction, can you go and view the car? As a potential ''prospective'' buyer?
I have this morning told Lex Autolease that they lied to me about it being sold though, and they are now trying to get me access to view the "damage" with one of their assessors at BCA this afternoon.

It might be extremely stressful, but just imagine the sheer satisfaction of proving them wrong and seeing them wriggle.Rick_Muller wrote:I had considered that, but you need to be "approved" to visit the site. I have to apply to be a buyer, which may take longer than Monday.

Re: Car Leasing
The angle of your pictures is very good, clearly shows there are no dents or blemishes to the paint etc.
I'd love to see where they've found £910 of damage.
Good luck.

Re: Car Leasing
Do you have any evidence of when those photos were taken?
Hopefully your visit will get you what you need but if it has somehow been damaged since you let it go, then I would expect the challenge of when the photos were taken.

The interior damage was the stitching fraying, for which I reported that at about 50000, but they told me then, via the Honda dealer, that it was fair wear and tear.
