Personal Contract Purchase
One of the best ways to purchase a new or used car today, it allows customers to purchase a car of their choice at attractive fixed monthly finance payment, with the benefit of a low deposit outlay and a guaranteed minimum future value at the end of the agreement.
Lease Purchase
(LP)
Sometimes referred to as Hire Purchase with a balloon and is structured in a similar way PCP, however unlike PCP there is no guarantee offered at the end of the agreement, customer can defer a capital lump sum amount until the end of the agreement.
Hire Purchase
(HP)
Very similar to borrowing a sum of money from a bank and paying it back over a fixed period of time, with interest. Hire Purchase is a type of secured loan which are often preferred over alternative (unsecured) loans because they allow a greater borrowing limit.

Honda car finance
How does it work
At Capital Car Finance we have the ability to offer our customers a very low rate of interest (From just 4.9% APR) together with industry leading GMFV’s making Honda cars very affordable.
Honda PCP Car Finance is very useful if you drive a company car and are opting out of a company car scheme for example (Cash for Car), because you can use your company car allowance or mileage reclaims to fund your monthly PCP payments and avoid paying excessive company car taxes.
Monthly payments are fixed with PCP for the repayment period, which is normally two, three or four years and the added flexibility of PCP car finance gives you several options at the end of the agreement:
Option 1
Return the vehicle to the finance company and if you have not exceeded the agreed mileage, there is nothing more to pay.
Option 2
You may keep the vehicle and simply pay off or refinance the outstanding Guaranteed Minimum Future Value [GMFV] payment.
Option 3
You can part-exchange your vehicle and if the trade-in value is greater than the GMFV, the difference is yours to keep.
- Low initial deposit
- Flexible deposit term
- Fixed repayments
- Guaranteed final payment
- Low monthly payments
- Guaranteed equity available PCP
The Honda personal contract purchase plan provides the benefits of driving a higher specification Honda for lower monthly payments, unlike traditional methods of car finance, this is achieved by deferring a percentage of the total cost of the Honda to the end of the contract, which is the guaranteed minimum future value or GMFV as its more commonly known as.
This guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV) and is the key difference between PCP and traditional forms of car financing such as Hire Purchase. The GMFV plus your deposit is subtracted from the selling price of the Honda and your monthly payments are based on the balance (plus interest on the balance and the GMFV). Effectively, you will make lower payments than traditional financing simply because you are essentially only funding the depreciation.
Excess Mileage
At the beginning of the agreement, you decide on the total mileage you expect to do. If, at the end of the agreement, having chosen to hand your Honda back to the finance company, your mileage exceeds the agreed level, you simply pay a fixed amount for every extra mile.
Wear & Tear
It is in your interest to minimise your Honda’s ‘wear and tear’ and not exceed the agreed mileage. When the agreement has finished, the vehicle may well be worth more than the GMFV, providing you with extra value, In simple terms ‘normal wear and tear’ means that for its age and mileage, the Honda is in fair working order, condition and repair.
Honda Lease Purchase
How it works
Lease Purchase is sometimes referred to as Hire Purchase with a balloon and is structured in a similar way to Personal Contract Purchase or PCP car finance.
The customer will normally benefit from a slightly lower finance rate with an Honda lease purchase car finance product as there is no guarantee offered at the end of the contract, the deferred lump sum amount at the end of the agreement is known as the Residual Value (RV) or balloon, and this has to be paid by the customer for outright ownership of the Honda. Deposits for Lease Purchase are flexible and are normally a minimum of 10% and a maximum of 40% of the total vehicle price, repayment periods are taken over 3 or 4 years typically.
The Residual Value (RV) (sometimes called the balloon) at the end of the agreement reduces the regular monthly payments accordingly, thus making vehicles that traditionally have a strong Residual Value (RV) like Honda, more suitable for this type of product as they make repayments far more affordable.
The Residual Values (RV) is calculated and set at the beginning of the lease purchase finance agreement but is not payable until the end of the contract, there are realistically two options for an Honda lease purchase at the end of the term, 1. Pay off the residual value in cash or settlement by part-exchange or 2. Some lenders will allow the residual value to be spread over a secondary period and refinanced again.
Honda Car Leasing
How it works
New car leasing is becoming a very popular choice these days as it allows customers to drive a brand new car for a lower monthly payment and a small initial deposit, you don’t have to worry about selling the vehicle either, simply return it to the leasing company at the end of the contract and walk away.
Car leasing is available for business and personal customers and is a long-term rental agreement, the contract can include service and maintenance, breakdown cover and a replacement vehicle and in most cases the road fund licence is included for the duration of the agreement. As car leasing is a rental agreement it will subject to VAT, if you are a VAT registered business you can reclaim this back from HMRC on your VAT return (100% for commercial vehicles and 50% for cars).
The monthly rental is calculated from the length of contract and the estimated miles driven, at the end of the period the vehicle is returned to the leasing company as the leasing company always the registered owner of the vehicle. It is treated as “off balance sheet funding” in a company’s accounts.
New car leasing is completely risk free and almost always works out cheaper than outright purchase of a vehicle. This is due to the extra discounts and support received from manufacturers, which are passed on to the hirer and reflected in the monthly rental.
