FEATURES OF MINI SELECT (PERSONAL CONTRACT PURCHASE).
Lower Monthly Payments: Part of the vehicles value is deferred until the end of the agreement, meaning monthly costs are lower than a standard Hire Purchase agreement.
Flexibility at the End: Choose to:
- Return the car (mileage/condition charges may apply).
- Trade it in for a new one, using any positive equity as a deposit.
- Pay the large final payment or GMFV"(Guaranteed Minimum Future Value) to own it outright.
Drive Newer Cars More Often: Lower monthly costs make it easier to afford a higher-spec or newer model and switch every few years.
Large Final Payment: A significant sum is required at the end to own the car (GMFV).
Mileage Restrictions: Exceeding the agreed annual mileage leads to excess mileage charges.
Wear & Tear Charges: You'll be charged for damage beyond "fair wear and tear" if you return the vehicle, requiring good maintenance.
Higher Cost: While the monthly payments are lower, the overall cost may be higher if you choose to purchase the car.
