The Problems with PCP

[W12Lad]

Well done MG Clive, xmas cracker is in the post!!

You're kidding, right?

I have another one in the same vein.....
How many holes on a golf course?

Or

What's 5 times 7?

 

[W12Lad]

That's 2 minutes of my life I'm not getting back

 

[Lollipopman]

How big is the course?

I got 21. Though to be fair, they'd have to pot the black more than once...

Why isn't it 35? He's already potted a ball.

Why isn't it 35? He's already potted a ball.

That would be correct if the question was "If a snooker player pots a ball how many MORE balls would a snooker player pot to make a 147?"

That would be correct if the question was "If a snooker player pots a ball how many MORE balls would a snooker player pot to make a 147?"

Let's face it, the first 7 words in the question are completely irrelevant and unnecessary given the stupid answer.
And because they were there, I spent ages going through different possible meanings of "pots" and "ball" to work out the really clever cryptic answer......... AAAARRRGH!

I'm not bitter though

I disagree and it is poorly phrased. He or she has potted a ball, it takes another 35 to make the 147 from that point. I declare myself the winner.

I think I won because the questions been answered and I haven't wasted my time trying to work it out

 

[Lollipopman]

Well, the intention certainly wasn't to upset anyone, nor indeed spend as much time trying to work it out, I do APOLOGISE. Actually, I didn't think it was that difficult

Oops, I've changed the headlights, tinted the windows, added a frunk, couple of dents and exceeded the miles by over 10%.

The PCP expires this month . . . . .

Looks like you're going to be staying at home and removing the extras over Christmas. At least it gives you an excuse not to see the in-laws

Do you think my finance company will have an issue with my V8 convertible conversion on my MG4?

Not if they don't know about it.

"They do now", merry Christmas!!!

Sorry for putting my nose in, but wth is this PCP you talk about?

Presumably some sort of financing deal, but how is it different from a lease plan or a purchase plan?

Maybe we have a similar thing in Australia but I have no idea what multiple threads are on about

PCP = Personal Contract Purchase

 

[tsedge]

PCP = Personal Contract Purchase

Basically means:

• Deposit
• Fixed monthly payment
• Over typically 2-4 years
• Minimum guaranteed future value (MGFV) of your car at the end.
• When it finishes, you can either hand the car back or purchase it for the MGFV, or if you have equity in the car (worth more than MGFV) you can trade it in against another deal.

Provides some protection from depreciation in return for interest on the whole cost of the car for the term period.
