NEW AVENSIS: TICKS ALL THE RIGHT BOXES

The new Avensis from Toyota takes centre stage this weekend at Bentleys Toyota of Warrington. A new range of engines known as Toyota Optimal Drive, offer greater fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions without compromising on performance. Vehicle Excise Duty on this new model is reduced by £25.00 whilst miles per gallon on the 1.8 Valvematic petrol model is increased from 39.2 to 43.5.

Responding to the economic challenges that we are all facing, Bentleys Toyota are offering low risk and low fixed cost finance deals; better known as Personal Contract Plans (PCPs). With PCP, the car’s guaranteed future value is calculated and this is based on an agreed mileage and age. This is deferred as a final payment. The customer uses the car for an agreed period (usually between 24 -36 months) and then at the end of the period, is given four options:

1. Buy the car by paying an agreed minimum residual value
2. Part exchange for another vehicle.
3. Sell the vehicle privately (settling the final payment)
4. Return the car with nothing to pay.

Commenting on this increasingly popular choice of car finance, Chairman Stephen Langley said, "Ensuring that our customers are given the best value for their money, especially in these difficult times, is paramount. PCPs offer two key advantages at the outset and they are, firstly, a low deposit which means that the customer keeps valuable personal cash available and the second being low fixed monthly payments which don’t place any additional burden on the household budget. Furthermore, if the customer takes the option to return the car after the contract period, they are protected from possibly reduced vehicle values which provide the customer with huge reassurance."
