I haven't PCP'd in this country. What is the penalty for handing the car back early?PCP is the way, especially if you only keep it a year then swap again. Only on 0% interest deals mind, I’ve never kept one the full 3 years then handed it back, nobody does that, and as long as you get the car cheap enough to start with you use the equity in it a year down the line as deposit for the next. Technically renting but having a new car every year
Cheers, makes sense I suppose.
Nothing as you aren’t handing it back, you have to keep a new Ford for 9 months minimum on PCP then if you want can trade it in for another PCP deal! It’s not a set in stone you have to keep the car for 3-4 years like a hire purchase deal.
It depends if you're swapping manufacturer and therefore finance provider. To get my Mustang I handed my A5 back after around 2 years of a 3 year PCP - it's Voluntary Termination, and as long as you've paid at least half of the total finance agreement, there's no penalty. I just had to pay around £1k to bring mine up to that amount. There seems to be a bit of disagreement as to whether it affects your credit rating or not, but the majority say not and it hasn't affected me in any way.
If you have enough equity in it to pay off what’s owed then I’d imagine so if the dealers used car dept are willing to buy it off you but never done this so don’t hold me to that! Ford will love people doing this as it keeps sales numbers up for both new and used vehicles.
You don’t need a car to trade in, and definitely worth getting a specced up GT over the Bullitt, I don’t think it’s going to be as special as was originally thought as they just keep making more and more of them!
I think in the UK they will hold their value better than a GT as they are far more rare and come with all the toys and nice extra touches, granted as a new car they are pricey. There are only 200 registered in the UK so far as well.
Thanks for the reply. For me it wouldn't be about whether the average Joe on the street knows it's a Bullitt, it's about enjoying the extras and come resale time being slightly (or perhaps significantly) better off come selling time when I decide to move onto another car.All the new MY19 GT's come with B&O sounds and Synch 3 as standard.
Only the Recaros and Magneride are extra options, and the magneride is still an optional extra on the Bullitt not standard.
I looked at Recaros but you cannot get them with the heated/cooled functions, and so I opted for standard seats and they are extremely comfortable and more than supportive enough for me.
I have a Kona blue 2019, and another guy at work has just bought a Bullitt,
Most people when listening to them mentioning the fact two Mustangs are in the car park, say they prefer the blue one as the green one is too dark.
And also most people here do not even know there is a difference between them, they think they are both the same car except for the colour.
Then I say that green one is £4.5 thousand pound more than mine, and most of the replies are why would you spend more just to get a green one, then I have to explain, but still no one seems to understand.
However f they did a Bullitt with an auto option, I would have gone for one myself.
But I am more than very happy with mine and it will be a keeper, so I paid all my finance off and now the car is entirely mine
