Hatchbacks seem to be going around £9200~ including vat for 6+23 with 8,000 miles and the estates are a bit more pricier around £9700~. (including vat)

Unfortunately I don't know the names of the supplying dealer(s) so these are all coming from brokers so your mileage may vary. I do know that estates seem to be running low in stock but there are still a few hatchbacks out there.

Each of these brokers are advertising these.

That's eighteen thousand over three years. Are you sure you're not better off buying? What's that, 35k new list price (even without a carwow wangled discount) ? It's going to worth more than 17k private sale after three years surely?

Is my man math out?

£18k is a lot but that's maintained.

Consider buying the car and the costs for 3 years, and then depreciation. I suspect the difference is not as much as you think.

No. A highly specced car (prets/dcc/pano) can be bought for 30k through drive the deal.

Boggo spec 2014 cars are currently selling at about 20-22k.

But add in the interest on 30k for 3 years at say 4500, some tyres, servicing and you are getting there.

That still seems bloody expensive.
2 sets of tyres over 3 years - £800
2 oil changes, 1 main service & 1 brake fluid change - £1,000

I know most of us here had the mega cheap lease deals over two years, but that seems astronomical. Around double of what mine would be (x1.5) because of the three years.

All fair points and all opinions valid. However, purchasing at a discount leaves you having to finance the whole car, whereas leasing, you are financing the depreciation, plus interest, with a future value agreed at the start. So it takes depreciation out of the equation and allows changeover for a new car at the end of the term as hassle free, which I need as I use the car for work. You pay a slight premium for the privilege but you don't have the hassle.

So 10k depreciation, 1.8k service costs, 4.5k interest on loan. Total £16,300.

I have seen £358 3+35 personal contract hire 10k miles. £13604. Plus 1.8k servicing. 15.2k. No options.

So works out exactly the same assuming the options add a bit on!!

I haven't seen a way to beat 5k a year yet?!

I'd say 4.5k interest on 30k loan is a bit pessimistic, current loan rates would suggest 3k is more like it over 3 years

We haven't factored in the equity (if any) at the end of a cash purchase in line with the outstanding finance payments. smile

just checked and halifax are offering car loans of upto £60,000 for just 3.3%, meaning that a 30k loan over 3 years would cost just over £1500,

those rates would make most Pcp's, Hp agreements or other forms of finance seem pointless

I'm not sure pointless is the word. It's just another option that allows a lot of convenience.

Ok just to be pedantic......

The problem with a loan is the monthly repayments. Loans over 5 years are more expensive i think. If you take out a 30k 5 year loan at 3.3% the monthly payments would be £543 a month. Obviously you would have a car at the end of it that was worth some money but i can't afford £543 a month.

So to reduce the monthly payments you need a longer loan term at which point the interest rate goes up.

Any pcps at 3%?!

Hmmmm. 3.3% of 30k is 990. Not sure how that equates to 1500 unless i suppose you pay all the capital off over 3 years. Monthly payments of 876!!
