Hi - apologies I'm new to this site and need some advice on my current 4 year PCP deal. I drive an Audi A5 coupe and are two years in. My job has changed and I'm exceeding the mileage by a huge amount - e.g. Pcp on 12k a year and I m doing 25k. Obviously that doesn't matter I guess unless I'm planning to hand it back. My worry is that I have so much negative equity in it that I will never get out of the situation, do I hang on for another year? Roll it over now? I'm unsure as my mileage isn't going to change. Sorry for the naive post but I just want advice - as I said new to this PCP world.

Thanks for the reply - yes I have gone in head first and it has annoyed me (or rather annoyed with myself). I feel like I am in a situation I can't get out of (I appreciate there are worse things happening in the world). So presumably avoid swapping the car until the four years is up?

At the end of four years I suspect I will have a car with 100k on it and whilst circumstances change I think i another two years I still will be doing 25k a year. I am not knowledgeable on diesel engines but I don't fancy paying for a car with 100k plus on it at the end of the PCP. It seems that paying excess mileage seems the best - I have estimated that to be £3.5k!!! That is why I wondered by swapping now with a higher mileage limit is a better option?

Hi AllyBassman - not so much a trap just that I genuinely don't know if the car at 100k plus will regularly do 25k-30k a year.

Thanks for that advice - a bit more reassuring. Much appreciated
