Flexible PCP car finance with ALPHERA Select
ALPHERA Select is our personal contract purchase (PCP) car finance product for new and used cars. It offers lower monthly payments than an equivalent hire purchase agreement, with flexible end of term options.
What is ALPHERA Select PCP finance?
There’s a good reason why ALPHERA Select is our most popular finance product for new and used vehicles. Because it features a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV), you can defer a proportion of your vehicle’s value until the end of the agreement as an optional final payment.
That means your monthly payments could be less than you think, giving you more flexibility to choose the vehicle, specifications or optional extras that suit you, while staying within budget, although the total amount you pay might be higher than with HP.
With ALPHERA Select, the choice is yours.
Is PCP car finance right for you?
ALPHERA Select may suit you if you want lower monthly payments and the flexibility to decide whether to keep, part-exchange or return the vehicle at the end of your agreement.
It may be less suitable if you know from the outset that you want to own the car, don’t want to be restricted by an agreed annual mileage or would prefer not to have an optional final payment.
How does Alphera Select PCP work?
ALPHERA Select lets you tailor your PCP agreement around factors such as your deposit, contract length and estimated annual mileage. Here’s how it works:
- Choose your car
Select the new or used car you want to finance. - Agree your deposit and term
Your finance agreement will take account of your deposit, contract length and estimated annual mileage. Agreements usually last between 24 and 60 months. - Make fixed monthly payments
You make the agreed monthly payments throughout the term. Part of the car’s cost is deferred until the end as the optional final payment. - Choose what happens at the end
You can keep, part-exchange or return the vehicle, subject to the conditions of your agreement.
Your Retailer can help you explore different deposit, terms and mileage allowances to tailor the agreement to meet your needs.
What happens at the end of your PCP agreement?
At the end of your ALPHERA Select agreement, you have three options:
- Keep the vehicle by paying the optional final payment and any option-to-purchase fee.
- Part-exchange the vehicle for another vehicle. Any equity above the amount needed to settle the agreement may be used towards your next car.
- Return the vehicle without paying the optional final payment. Excess mileage or vehicle-condition charges may apply.
If the vehicle’s part-exchange value is higher than the outstanding optional final payment and any applicable fee, the difference may be available as equity. If its value is lower, you can choose to return the vehicle instead, subject to the agreed mileage and vehicle-condition requirements.
