Investing in a new or used Lexus vehicle means investing in a model that offers the utmost in style, quality and performance. At RRG Lexus, we aim to help you make such a purchase in the most affordable way possible, with our financing options flexible and tailored to suit you.
Personal Contract Purchase is a popular and affordable way to drive away in a brand new Lexus with only low monthly repayments to be made. Such a scheme requires you to pay a deposit followed by fixed payments over an agreed time period. At the end of this term, you can pay an optional final payment to take ownership, or return the vehicle with nothing more to pay.
What are the advantages of PCP?
A PCP agreement means you’re only paying for the depreciation of a vehicle’s value from the sale price to the Guaranteed Future Value, as such meaning monthly payments are lower
You have the flexibility to simply return the car and walk away at the end of the contract term
If the vehicle is worth more than the Guaranteed Future Value, you will be able to use this difference as a deposit on another car
What should you consider when opting for PCP?
That you are happy to return the vehicle to the dealership at the end of the agreed term
Should you wish to own outright, you will be required to pay an optional balloon payment at the end of the contract - this is the Guaranteed Future Value figure
You will be unable to sell the car until you’ve settled the agreement
You will be obliged to uphold the maintenance and servicing requirements detailed within the agreement terms
Can I settle my PCP agreement early?
Yes. By contacting the finance company, you will be able to obtain an early settlement figure. Note, however, that you may also be required to pay the difference between the vehicle’s value and what you still owe - a figure known as negative equity.
A traditional form of vehicle financing that makes it easy and affordable to buy, Hire Purchase simply requires you to pay an initial deposit followed by fixed monthly payments. These payments - made over an agreed period of time - will be paying off the balance remaining, resulting in full ownership once all repayments are complete.
What are the advantages of HP?
Spread the cost of a new or used car over a number of months
Complete vehicle ownership at the end of the agreement
No mileage restrictions
What should you consider when opting for HP?
Payments may be more expensive in comparison to a PCP agreement
Selling the vehicle cannot be completed until the finance is settled
Ownership of the car becomes yours only once all payments are settled
Servicing and maintenance needs to be upheld according to the terms of the agreement
Can I settle my HP agreement early?
Yes. Simply get in touch with your financing company and request a settlement figure. This will also include any negative equity that may be applicable - i.e. the difference between the value of the car and how much you have remaining to pay.
