Others may not agree with this but I handed back my PCP car at the end of the term and bought a £1200 run around which needed £600 worth of work and lasted a year. My car payments were around the same as that and the runaround was much heavier on fuel with much higher road tax. I ended up taking on another PCP agreement when runaround was done as I can afford it and I enjoy driving a nice reliable car.

Ah okay, did you find you had quite a few problems with the cheaper car?

I think that's my worry, I don't want to get it and then break down all the time, but I suppose that's the chance you take and the reason why new cars cost more ultimately.

Problem after problem and it got to the point where we'd spent so much and the car was worth so little that we gave up.

That's understandable, and I suppose that was the cost of a monthly PCP payment and the reassurance is better than the risk of something going wrong.

If you still want to sell have a look at Motorway, although not the same as WBAC we got a higher price and was very easy. The dealer thats buying the car will settle the finance for you. (I do not work for motorway we just found them by chance and have now sold multiple cars through them!)
