In all honesty, I've stuck with PCP deals for the last 6 years as the manufacturer backed finance deals make it far more cost effective to buy new rather than used, even if you have the cash sat in the bank. It's going to take the dealers and manufacturers some time to get this sorted, but I'm sure by the end of this year, we'll see some £39,999 cars with healthy specifications on the market. I'm also expecting to see a bit of an improvement in the interest rates offered on used cars as the ability of the manufacturers to keep swapping people into new PCP deals every 24-36 months erodes. This will increase the number of used cars being financed and therefore will bring more lenders into the space.

Similar boat here- but I'm a company car driver. And the 'salary sacrifice' tax impact is unclear to me...
Yes, I am a benefit user (i.e. I'm not exactly a sales rep/road warrior who has to do thousands of miles for business) but a company car has always been part of the T's & C's - with the option to take an allowance instead. Had previously taken said allowance, then my company changed the rules saying any car I used had to be less than 5 years old, show them my insurance, etc; whereas before I could do more or less anything with the money... With diesel cars so good re CO2 emissions recently, and wanting to keep to a 5-series - for my circumstances a 520d Luxury company car was a no brainer! Now, next year in July I will have to make a decision but no direction from my company what they are going to do tax/benefit-wise. I'm thinking if I have to get my own, it will have to a petrol for the reasons mentioned by others. |
