Renault PCP

Hi

Has anyone had any dealing with Renault PCP. I took out PCP back in March 2015 and got myself a nice shiny new clio. I took this over over 4 years, however I can now change if I wish, I visited the dealer where I purchased the car and was fobbed off and even asked if I had had my car resprayed as it was in such a good condition ( I just take care of my car!) They were really u helpful there too. Anyway my friend had pcp finance with Nissan at the same time as me and she now has nice new Ford focus, Ford paid off her remaining Pcp from the value of the car. Has anyone else experienced this just want to find out if I have other options :j

    You can go anywhere you like to trade the car in. Ideally your car will be worth at least whats owed on it, depending on how much deposit you put in - you just get a settlement figure from the finance company.

    Make sure though :-
    • You know how much you're getting for your car
    • How much you owe on your car
    • How much discount you're getting on the new car
    • How much the APR is on the finance

    They WILL make it about the monthly payment and its very hard to see if you're getting a good deal or not.

    Yes. You have the option of not being caught up in the 'must have a shiny new car because my friend has one' nonsense.
