Offered to get out of PCP early but figures don't add up

  • Hi, I myself own a DS3 paying 269 a month. I will find myself in this situation this time next year with 9 months left on my payments and I also will want to terminate early due to wanting a range rover ha! I was just wondering how your getting on with it and how much it costs in the end? Cheers

    That is one issue with PCP. Great if you are happy to be locked into changing your car at a fixed date but you pay the penalty if you want to trade early.
    I know some who avoid using their car ........ to avoid horrendous charges for exceeding agreed mileage.

    The excess mileage charges only apply if you hand the car back and walk away.
  • I'm in a similar position with my DS3. Looking to move on after 18 months. I asked for a settlement figure and of the £9300 owing, after rebate, the settlement figure is £8770 roughly. I was looking at taking it to the dealers and asking what they would buy it off me for. I'm not VTing as I will leave myself open to wheel scuff repair extortionage.
    Mine is the more humble DStyle Plus 120VTi.
    Wewillbuyyourcar.com gave a price way above WBAC and they say as long as you document all damages, the price quoted is the price paid.
