Charters Ssangyong Reading Hire Purchase scheme allows our customers to spread their payments over a selected term.

Customers choose their vehicle, trim level and choice of paint colour (as well as other options if applicable), decide a deposit to put down (some of our vehicles come with 0 deposit needed). They then spread the rest of the cost of the vehicle over a set term (such as 36 or 48 months).

This way, Ssangyongs are even more affordable using this payment method. The vehicle is yours to keep at the end of your term (provided you keep up the payments) and there are no mileage restrictions.

Advantages:

• Customers will own the vehicle at the end of their term.
• A more affordable way of driving a brand new Ssangyong.

Disadvantages:

• Monthly prices are generally higher than Personal Contract Purchase rates.

For more details on Hire Purchase, see our dedicated page here.

Personal Contract Purchase (or PCP as it is commonly known) is a way of deferring the future value of your vehicle to reduce the monthly cost.

Customers decide on the deposit, term length and mileage they are likely to use. The guaranteed future value (GFV) of the vehicle is then calculated. The total on the road cost of the vehicle has the deposit and the GFV deducted from it, then customers spread the rest of their payments over the selected term.

Personal Contract Purchase allows for customers to choose at the end of their contract whether they want keep the vehicle permanently or not. At the end of the contract, customers can:

1. Hand back the vehicle in the agreed condition and mileage with nothing more to pay
2. Upgrade it to a newer or different model and starting a new PCP plan
3. Pay the outstanding amount (equal the “Guaranteed Future Value” figure) and keep the car.

Advantages of buying Ssangyong on PCP

• Lower monthly payments than the hire purchase scheme
• The flexibility of choosing later whether to keep the vehicle or not
• The ability to upgrade and continue a new PCP plan on a brand new vehicle (without ever having to worry about MOT costs on a 36 month term)

Disadvantages of buying Ssangyong on PCP

Guaranteed Future Value is based upon an agreed annual mileage allowance and condition. The vehicle must be returned in good condition.

Whilst deferring a large chunk of the cost of the vehicle to the end of the contract is suitable for many of us, some customers (who expect to keep the car) find it easier to opt for the hire purchase scheme.

For more details on Personal Contract Purchase, see this page.

Customers are advised by our staff to choose a mileage that accurately reflects their annual usage as it keeps their payments accurate. If however they exceed this mileage, they are charged on a pence-per-mile basis. This figure is shown to customers when being quoted on new or used Ssangyong and is usually very affordable.

Getting finance on your next vehicle is based upon a variety of factors including credit status and age. Some of our customers (especially new and young drivers) are required to have a guarantee (or guarantor) to countersign your agreement.

This guarantee is to assure the finance company that if you are unable to make payments on the vehicle then they will do so in your place.
