Price Crash & Rate Hike – My car finance options after 2 years ! | 4K

In the last 12 months or so the has actually been a cost crash and hike in interest rates. I am 2 years into my current financing agreement on my Porsche Boxster so I paid a visit to my good friends at Lillian Stanley Finance to see what my monetary options are. I likewise got an appraisal on my car from Harbour where I bought it.

I take a seat with Matt from Lillian Stanley to talk through the various types of finance available to my and then look at some alternatives of possible dream vehicles for my to proceed to. How did I get on?!

      No one works out the full costs…. Or will tell you them…. It’s the depreciation on the car and the total monthly payments and the deposit less amount back at sale…

    Hi Ped, I am a big fan of your channel so I clicked on this one as well. This video has a lot “noise” so I skipped most of it. Therefore I don’t know if the interest rate was ever brought up. I saw the part that was focused on monthly payment with a balloon valuation/payment at the end of loan’s term – it immediately made me cringe . Please please please shift your focus on the actual interest rate of the loan. Do not never evaluate a non-essential purchase based on whether one can fit its monthly payment within his/her current monthly budget as that is incredibly short-sighted. It can also lead one to overpay on interest, which is what all lenders and even brokers want. The higher the interest the bigger their commission/kickback. If one has to resort to balloon gimmick to “afford” a car, then he/she should buy something cheaper or keep what they have. This is the kind of practice that will keep people on a financial hamster wheel (if not stumble off of it entirely) and also keep them from achieving financial independence in the future. Please be discipline on your purchase decision.

      Due to compliance we weren’t allowed to state the actual interest rate but spent plenty of time talking about how important it is and what impact it has to the total cost of the loan.

    What was the interest rate being offered? The video focuses on balloon payment and monthly. Being transparent on the interest rate and how much you will actually pay in interest would be helpful. Porsche at the moment are around 11%.

      @@PetrolPedthat makes the examples useless Pete. If you assume 75k with a 10k deposit over 4 years and a £35k ballon, £999 per month puts the Apr at about 9%. That’s still a high interest rate and I’d bet you probably need to be a high bet worth individual to get any lower.

      I bought a new BMW 2 years ago coz used values were c30% higher than pre-covid and new cars hadn’t gone up that much at the time. I wouldn’t normally buy new.
      However BMW pcp at 6.5% was c£4k more than Sainsburys loan at 3.2%. Please don’t use pcp it’s a rip off because capital element stays high and your paying more on same rate if HP.

      ​@@supertouring22 I reckon when a lot of today’s younger people have retired, they’re going to seriously regret how much money they wasted ‘renting’ brand new high-value cars to impress others more than themselves while actually impressing nobody worth impressing.

      Twelve grand a year over a 40+-year working life is not only the equivalent of half-a-million quid, but when you think what compound interest you could have earned from simple term deposits, or how else you could have invested the money, it is serious wastage.

      Most young people don’t realize how difficult it is to maintain one’s lifestyle in retirement. IMO, the sooner people stop ‘buying’ cars this way for instant gratification the better.

      Instead of seeing a finance broker and telling them you have a deposit and a grand a month spare to waste, buy a car outright with that deposit, then go see a financial advisor and tell them you have a grand a month spare to invest.

      I wish I had been given this advice and been wise enough to follow it. I wouldn’t just be a multimillionaire, I’d probably have at least 10 mil, maybe even several times that, and not only be able to afford to buy the hypercar I want, but also be able to afford to own it, which incidentally costs at least half-a-million for the average length of retirement.

    Well Pete I’m guessing you might’ve had an inkling this topic could come with a backlash. Car finance vlogs nearly always derive a high level of toxicity in the commentary and to be fair past behaviours of unscrupulous firms merits caution. Despite I’m sure your good intent, the limitations of what you can share means that it’s a lose/lose topic to cover. In terms of your personal choice on car type, I think the convertible lover in you will win through and therefore the 992 over the GT4!

    I bought my current car cash, 10 years ago new, it cost £21,000 and is still worth about £5,000 now with only 39700 on the clock. That’s £1600 per year, zero road tax, fault free, cheap insurance. In total around £2000 per year total ownership.

    Most people buy cars with finance only think about low/affordable monthly payment, without considering the size of deposit and final payment. I used to buy my cars with finance provided by dealers or bank loans when I was young. But I stopped doing that when I got older, as I finally realised the interests I paid. I bought my last 2 cars with cash.

      I’m not opposed to HP if the interest rate isn’t too high, especially for young people to get a decent car.

      It’s also fine to finance something if it’s cheaper money than alternative sources of finance you need. For instance, there’s no sense paying off your mortgage — the cheapest money available for most people — if you’ll then need to take out a loan to buy a car and/or for business at much higher interest rates.

      The reason not to pay cash for a car is to free up that money to take advantage of other opportunities you may otherwise be unable to take advantage of.

      Still, I think it’s fair to say that for the average person, paying cash is best.

      Also, if you’ve got a reasonable sum that you could put down as a deposit on a car, and the ability to pay 12 grand a year, and every few years you’re back where you started or worse off, or even just slightly better off, consider the opportunity cost, especially over the long term.

      IMO, it’s one thing to take a big hit once or twice, but to keep doing it every few years doesn’t make much sense to me.

      I’ve been fortunate not to lose much money on cars over the last 45 years.

    Ten grand up-front, 48 x £1K…hmmm, so 58 grand…which is £14,500 per year… for a car with mileage & wear’n’tear restrictions placed on it…that you don’t own at the end of the agreement. It’s not overly appealing TBH mate. I did like the yellow one though 😉😉

    I think people have to get over the fact that the “era” of cheap money is over, since 2008 banks and manufacturers have used cheap money to push on the industry. And this is the same for credit cards, housing etc.

    Buy the car = cost of the car plus dealer margin. All other options are rent the car + interest, finance broker commission plus dealer margin = cost of car. No investment can offset the cost of finance at the moment so buy outright now. There is a reason why top end car prices are plummeting. Rolling one PCP into another is when they have you as you’re simply renting. Imagine spending money every month and never owning something.

You probably dont want my life experience but I will offer it anyway, try and steer away from money especially direct like this as it’s the root of all evil. Talk values etc etc but not fca stuff. Oh dont get the GT4 you will find it like the ruby roadster except you cant reverse it.
