992 Question - Sorry, really boring Finance one

[dgswk]

Quick question, and hate to be a bore, but new to dealing with Porsche OPC.... Just sorting out finance for my first 911 - a new 992 due in a few months, had the quote and tbh its in expected budget monthlies wise, just wanted to make sure it was about right and if there was any room for negotiation APR wise.

Cut to the chase - £100k car, £15k down, 4yrs, 6k PA, been offered 6.6% APR.

On the face of it, the APR seemed a bit high given the current climate, was expecting just sub 5%. Does that sound about right, or is their a bit of wiggle room on the APR? Clearly its Porsche and beggars cant be choosers and all that.

Cheers

Cheers, I get that, just want to make sure its ball park. If it was the normal BMW / Audi stuff I'd engage full fat hard negotiation mode whether the APR seemed reasonable or not. This I guess is different, don't want to look a c*ck if there is little or no negotiation to be had!

I got 4.3% Apr on Lombard - £55k future value.

Cheers, that looks really interesting - I was offered £55k on a £100k car, 4yrs, 6k pa by OPC so sounds about right. 4.3% is definitely worth a peek. If nothing else I at least have a bargaining tool. That takes £100+ a month off potentially. Mrs dgswk would be happy about that.

The best I could find is

£15,000 deposit, over 3 years with a balloon of £71,750, works out 5.6% apr

However I don't intend to keep the car longer then 6-9 moths.

Seems a bit of a high baloon, only £10k depreciation pa, very low mileage?

Clydesdale also very good speak to ryan dobson

They will do around 4.2/4.3% apr similar to lombard

Bear in mind - the deals from lombard / clydesdale are Hire Purchase with balloon. So the balloon / final value is not guaranteed.

With Porsche i'm assuming its a PCP and thus has a guaranteed final value (at which point you can hand the car back and walk away) whereas that is not the case with HP with balloon deals.

Yes, spoke to them today, got a sub £900 monthly, but balloon not guaranteed. Happy with £56k, should be able to move on for that in 4 years via private sale to a specialist easily, given 4yo 991 C2S’s seem to retail for £60k+ Waiiting on Lombard to come back.

Just wanted to say thank you to dgswk and trowelhead for their helpful emails re: Clydesdale finance. I've been talking on the phone with Ryan at Clydesdale and he can do 4.4%. Just need to make sure there is no hard Brexit 10% import levy post 31/10/19 before pressing the button on my order. Lock down date isn't till mid November so I'll see what the state of play is then.

Pleasure mate, enjoy

(I did the same re: Brexit a few months back before locking down. Brexit is rubbish for Porsche buying!)
