Westwood Car & Commercials work very closely with the following finance providers to offer you a range of used car finance benefits:
Hire purchase is a simple, straightforward way to spread the cost of buying a new car. It's fixed rate finance - with a fixed monthly payment.
The deposit you pay is flexible - typically between 0-50% of the vehicle cost. The remaining balance, plus fixed interest, is repaid in equal instalments over an agreed period (12-60 months).
Control - you decide the deposit, you decide the term
Fixed monthly payment - perfect for budgeting
Flexibility - doesn't compromise your other lines of credit
Assets - you gain vehicle ownership
Tax benefits - Tax allowances for business users
Personal Contract Purchase is highly attractive and increasingly popular. It combines low, fixed monthly payments with exceptional flexibility at the end of the agreement.
Your car's guaranteed future value is calculated (based on agreed mileage and age) and becomes deferred as a final payment (balloon).
PCP is ideal if you're opting out of a company car scheme. You use your company car allowance to fund your PCP monthly payments without paying company car tax. Either:
Part-exchange the vehicle for another
Sell the vehicle privately (settling the balloon)
Hire purchase with a balloon offers lower monthly payments than normal hire purchase. Instead, at the end of the agreement, you can make a final lump sum payment (or 'balloon') to own your car.
It's fixed rate finance - but with a lower fixed monthly outlay since you defer repayment of some of the borrowing. At the end of the agreement options include car purchase, refinance, part exchange or resale.
The deposit you pay is flexible - typically between 0-50% of the vehicle cost. The deferred balloon element is calculated on the estimated future resale value of the car.
The difference, plus fixed interest, is repaid in equal instalments over an agreed period (maximum period of 48 months), plus a final balloon payment.
Contract Hire can offer a package to include routine servicing and maintenance costs for a slight increase in the monthly rentals. All scheduled maintenance work will be carried out by the main dealer network and at a local dealer of your choice. Maintenance packages include replacement tyres (excluding punctures), batteries, exhausts and all parts that are subject to fair wear and tear**.
At the end of your agreement we will arrange to collect your vehicle free of charge from your office address. Not only does this avoiding time-consuming disposal issues and any worries over depreciation of the vehicle* but allows you to make the best use of your valuable time. Annual Road Fund Licence is included in the monthly rental for the duration of the contract.
