Personal Contract Purchase is a finance product offered by Honda Financial Services that provides a flexible funding solution to get you on your new motorcycle and out on the road with monthly payments that are lower than some alternative finance products.
PCP is one of two finance products available to you from Honda Financial Services to help fund your Motorcycle.
PCP allows you to keep your monthly repayments lower by deferring a proportion of the credit to the end of the agreement, and also giving you the flexibility of 3 options at the end of the agreement.
So, how does this work?
Firstly, choose the motorcycle you want, and agree how much deposit you would like to put down.
Then, estimate how many miles you will ride each year, and then agree how long you would like your agreement to run, between two and four years.
Then, estimate how many miles you will ride each year
We will then use this information to calculate a Guaranteed Future Value [GFV] – this is what we predict the value of your motorcycle to be worth at the end of the agreement.
The Guaranteed Future Value is deferred until the end of your agreement.
Because this value is based on your estimated annual mileage, it is important to give an accurate estimate, as you may have to pay excess mileage charges if you exceed your total agreed mileage for the agreement.
Your monthly payments are worked out on the difference between the GFV and the price of the motorcycle once your deposit has been taken off and interest added. This means you have lower, fixed monthly repayments than with Hire Purchase.
At the end of your agreement you have the flexibility of 3 options:
Retain - You can keep your motorcycle – pay the final payment and the option to purchase fee, and you will own the motorcycle outright
or
Return - You can hand your motorcycle back to us without paying the final payment – if you have exceeded your agreed mileage or the motorcycle is not in a good condition, then there may be additional charges to pay. Excess mileage charges will be explained before you sign the agreement, so you will know what these may be if you go over your estimated mileage.
And finally your third option is,
Renew - You can part exchange your motorcycle and subject to market value conditions, this should cover off the cost of the final payment. Then together with your Honda dealer, you can start looking for your next Honda.
Personal Contract Purchase may not be right for you so please review our other finance products or speak to your Honda dealer, to make sure you choose the right product to suit your needs.
It is important that the product you choose should provide a monthly payment that is sustainable, whilst also meeting your needs and circumstances best. Your Honda dealer will be happy to assist you with this.
There are some aspects of Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) that you need to be aware of to help you make an informed choice to decide if PCP is right for you.
As your PCP agreement includes a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) you have the ability to return the motorcycle to us (subject to the terms of the agreement). This provides you with some protection from market depreciation.
You have the right to withdraw from your PCP agreement within 14 days from the start of your agreement. You can also partially or fully settle your agreement at any time (subject to the terms of the agreement).
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) may not be the right product for you for the following reasons:
If you are a high annual mileage user then PCP is unlikely to be suitable for you as there is a maximum total contracted mileage limit.
If you prefer to change your motorcycle after more than 4 years then PCP may not be right for you as the maximum PCP term is 4 years.
Interest is payable on the amount you borrow including the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV). The Total Amount Payable (the overall cost) is likely to be higher than a Hire Purchase agreement with the same loan amount and term, as your balance will reduce slower due to the deferred GFV.
If you do more miles than you estimated and/or there is damage to the motorcycle, there may be additional charges if you decide to return your car to us.
You are not guaranteed to have any equity at the end of the agreement, if market conditions mean your motorcycle is worth less than the GFV. This may mean you will require an additional deposit if you choose to part exchange at the end of the agreement.
You will own the motorcycle outright once all regular payments, GFV and any option to purchase fees are paid.
Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
