I'm looking at getting into a 22 or 23 plate 911, what finance providers are giving the best rates, Oracle are advertising 8.9% which seems high, Porsche are about 11.5% which is bonkers!

Any recommendations?

8.9% would seem a decent rate at the moment for PCP and hire purchase. You can always get a cheaper rate from a bank personal loan but the limit on how much you can borrrow would be much lower. Oracle usually offer pretty good rates

Agreed, Oracle normally near the top when hunting around normally. I’m with them currently and managed to Neg a Base rate alignment , so when BOE do drop the rates ,my rate drops with them. Think I am now at 8.8%

I fondly remember the days when we could finance cars at ~4% APR. It all seems quite expensive now.

Charles and Dean arranged a PCP for me at 8.9% back in July, rates don't seem to have materially improved since then

It hurts both ways as if you decided to put the cash in the bank you can now easily get 4% (that's my standard HSBC savings rate up to £50k). Makes costs of cars when you genuinely include the cost of finance eye watering. So if I finance a £90k car I "lose" £300 a month (gross) in interest PLUS depreciation.

Are you not double counting?
Surely if you finance the car you can deposit the cash to get your 4%? And if you don't have the cash, and finance the purchase, then you can't lose interest on money that doesn't exist. Or am I missing something?

to note that interest earned is usually taxed.
and inflation in real life is running at 3+%.
yes money in bank for rainy days but anything above that is losing its value..

Was thinking the same reading that.

I guess so but was wondering if you pay on pcp you still have monthlies and if these were invested at 5% the total cost is higher, especially over 4 years.

I wouldn't recommend Darren Gibson. Tired several times to make contact and get some proposals from him for brand new 911. Just wasn't interested.

In fact I did start to wonder if it was a bit of a scam. When I said lets me for a coffee to discuss at Goodwood FoS last year he went very quiet.
