They wouldn’t budge half an inch for me...... seemed utter madness as I would have used them with a better rate.

I ended up on the high street at sub 3% - but you won’t get a ballon style arrangement at those rates, just a straigh loan.

Literally 10 years ago I bought a 997 C2S with Porsche finance and they simply matched rates back then but not anymore seemingly?

when i was looking at a Cayman and asked about the rate the dealer informed me that they do it to keep the number of sales down, so it keeps them having a level of exclusivity which means higher value at end of deal.

Truth is, they want the high rate

85% buyers can not afford a out right loan, hence the pcp boom and rates.

Yes you can get better deals through Porsche. However, it depends on how helpful your dealer is.

When I went to Solihull incredibly unhelpful, and the apr, was the apr. Although I could get a considerably better deal through Magnitude Finance. Yet when I went to Wolves, they appraised the MF deal, and actually went on to better the Magnitude offer, and better terms.

This was 12months ago mind, but worth seeing what personal finance car lenders are offering (not the banks), as in most cases Magnitude (part of DSG Group) are the lenders behind the Porsche dealers. So for example Stratsone have up to 5 lenders they use. Hence different dealers networks can have different offers, yet most will say they are restricted to the Porsche UK finance terms - as said above, but I know that not to be true. It’s dealer hype! They can offer better deals, it’s just finding a dealer who’ll but helpful enough. Worth talking to Magnitude or someone like this to give you a true benchmark.

I was offered 6.1% APR just before Xmas on a 718 Cayman. As I found out different Porsche dealers are limited as to what they can offer %APR wise depending on their status with Porsche. All dealers are not equal !

I took the Porsche finance as it sweetened the deal but after the 1st payment will be re financing at a much lower 4.1% APR rate.

Hi again.
Getting no joy with lowering the Apr.
Chazd, would you mind giving the name of the dealer who gave you 8% off?
Cheers.

Try Rob @ Supercarfinance.com - Tell him I sent you, and your OPC shouldn't have a problem with you bringing in your own finance.

Both of our Porsche's are under 6% regulated. One OPC matched Rob for the GTS (2.5 years ago), and the other with Rob (3 months ago)

The best way to judge is by the flat rate currently 2% on our loans for trucks, so what is the best flat rate I ask

I made some enquiries yesterday about a 8 month old ex demo PTS 718 with really high spec and was quoted a +9% which is insane. If this is a sign of things to come then I'll not be financing a car through the dealer network any time soon. I cant believe people are signing up to these rates.

There are some very competitive HP with balloon options out there, albeit the balloon is not guaranteed. Provided you are realistic with the balloon a much cheaper option ~ less than 5% APR.

flat rate quotes are a con, you need the apr rate because that's what you pay !.
