The cost of finance may be high but manufacturers are responding in kind with all of the top 10 lowest priced personal contract purchase (PCP) plans at less than £200 a month in Q4. AM's PCP data of manufacturer representative examples shows that the average monthly PCP cost in Q4 is £401, which has increased slightly by an extra £7 a month quarter-on-quarter. Average APRs have gone from 6% to 7%, reflecting the increasing pressure on interest rates and the cost of borrowing as a whole, and manufacturers have dialled back their deposit contributions by just more than 8% to an average of £943. However, the offers available still paint a positive picture for any consumer seeking a new car. Hyundai's i20 and Bayon take up the first and second place as two of the most affordable vehicles available in the UK new car market at £128 and £153 a month respectively. |
