Hire Purchase (HP)

A simple way of financing that gives you the certainty of a fixed interest rate, and fixed monthly payments throughout the agreement. The initial deposit and repayment period can be structured to help meet your budget and the length of time you expect to keep the car. You can trade-in your existing car and put this towards the initial deposit, or if you wish, just put down a cash deposit.

After paying the initial deposit you make regular monthly payments to cover the amount borrowed plus any interest and fees   

The interest rate is fixed which means you'll know exactly how much you will repay throughout the term of the agreement   

Once all of the payments have been paid the car is yours  

Features and Benefits 

  • Fixed monthly repayments 
  • Low Deposit 
  • Ownership of Car 
  • Budget with confidence 
  • Freedom, no mileage restrictions 
  • Ability to settle the loan early

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

Similar to a Hire Purchase agreement but with additional flexibility since part of the cost is deferred until the end of the agreement which may give you the benefit of lower monthly payments. The deferred amount is known as the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) sometimes known as Optional Final Payment.

What happens next? 

At the end of your PCP agreement, you then have a number of options.   

  • Option 1 - Part-exchange your vehicle-use any equity above the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value as an initial deposit on your next purchase.   
  • Option 2 - Keep your vehicle-simply pay the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value to retain ownership.    
  • Option 3 - Refinance the final balloon payment.    
  • Option 4 - Return your vehicle and have nothing further to pay, subject to vehicle condition and within the agreed mileage terms. (Subject to terms and conditions).

Features and Benefits 

  • Flexible deposit 
  • Low fixed monthly payments 
  • The choice at the end of the agreement 
  • No need to worry about depreciation 
  • Potential lower payments than a standard HP agreement or Conditional Sale

Recently got a car from here with my partner, was helped by a lovely fellow called James but other staff were friendly as well, really made sure to do everything they could for us and weren't overbearing or trying to pressure us into anything we didn't want, if you're in the market for a car you can't go wrong here.

I am so glad I chose to buy my car from this dealership. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. No pushy salesmen, no pressure at all.An absolute 1st class service throughout. They kept to all their promises and nothing was a bother to them even after the sale was completed.James and Jimmy were honest and very reliable, and I would assume the rest of the team are too.It will definitely be my first choice when I am looking for to replace my vehicle in the future. Would definitely recommend. 5*

Couldn’t recommend this garage enough!! As a first time buyer with no real experience, I couldn’t have asked for a better service. From start to finish everything felt straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciated that there was no pressure to make a purchase which made a big difference compared to other places I’d visited! Trading in my beloved fiesta was also handled smoothly, and the whole process was explained clearly at every step. A shout out to John, who was incredibly helpful, kind and patient throughout. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt confident in my decision. I’d definitely recommend this garage, especially if you’re a first time buyer looking for a straightforward helpful experience!! Thank you!

Great experience at Subaru Centre Darlington! I was there delivering a car, and even though I wasn’t the one buying it, the team treated me like a valued customer. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and had a great sense of humour. To top it off, they even gave me a lift to the train station in one of their cars – now that’s what I call service! I arrived as a delivery driver and left feeling like part of the team. Brilliant people and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
