i pointed this out on their Facebook post asking what the price was, but no response as usual.
Guys, ALL car dealers will set the GFV in their favour lower than what the car could be worth in a normal four years deal for two reasons, firstly they make more money (per month anyway) for example on a 4.9 % 48 month PCP for a base price of £21495 and a GFV of £8000 (with no deposit or part exchange) the monthly payments would be £342. Same base price but a £12000 GFV on the the same deal the monthly repayments would be £267. So if a dealer set it higher and you did not buy the car after the 48 months you will have paid less money and potentially the finance company (you are not really buying the car off the dealer but off a finance company) would be left with a car worth less than the amount left to pay, possibly. The GFV ((which is set by the finance companie(s) and not the dealer) is pretty pointless anyway if the punter bought the car at the end of the deal because the punter ends up paying more of less the same amount of money for the car anyway, for example the above deal final tally of car bought would be, GFV £8000 = 48x £342+£8000=£24416, GFV £12000 = 48x267+£12000=£24816. So it's all swings and roundabouts, no one really knows exactly how much a car is worth in four years but as a guideline expect to lose about 60-70% of the price from almost ALL cars. In summary it is NOT in the finance companies interest to set the GFV high but if the car is bought at the end its pretty pointless, in the the ideal world we would like a high GFV and don't buy the car, but not likely to happen. Finally for Scottish drivers (English drivers can't get it,sorry) you can get an INTEREST FREE loan of up to £35000 to buy an low emissions vehicle, see Energy Savings Trust for details. I bought my MG ZS EV Excite Model (would have ordered the Exclusive model but was not aware of the interest free loan at the time of paying my Deposit) with this loan (no deposit required) for £298.55 a month over 72 months.
Hi, Sorry if I am teaching you to sucks eggs but I see you live in Scotland so if you have not yet bought A EV you can apply for an interest free loan of up to £35000 to buy a low emission vehicle (can be a Hybrid or a fully electric car). The main criteria is you must NOT already own one and the car in question MUST be on the OLEV List to be eligible. See the Energy Savings Trust webpage for details
