New Car Dilemna & PCP's

Are Personal Contract Plans worthwhile?

Here's the situation:

I have a 5yr old Audi A6 1.9 TDI which I would like to sell. Similar cars on Autotrader are selling for £7-8K.

I would like to purchase a VW Golf and am considering buying from my local VW dealer. Their Solutions package includes service and maintenance and on a 3 year Personal Contract Plan this works out at @£250 per month.

Do you think this is a good deal or can I get a better deal elsewhere.

    You're in the right ballpark, but it's difficult to say without knowing which derivative and the contract length.
  • Try drive the deal. I just got my Audi A3 from them on a PCP - all very easy, car delivered by dealer to my door.
