Smudge Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I heard a whisper that if your looking at PCP on an M3, the rates are not so good as the finance Co's think M3 prices will be dropping more than they already have, making it hard to support their residuals. Just a whisper, but it did come from a finance house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetaylor Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 My finance man said that on a 04'54' over 4 years, the max residual that is available is 14K which i thought was low!! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However prices have stabilised over the 3 months and there have been move downward movements in the M3 valuations. However long term the finance RV will reflect a further softening of prices, not surprise now as the car is nearly 5 years old. Still an awesome car of course and well worth buying now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Lee [/ QUOTE ] that's not a particularly good deal really There are better cars available and with a better spec too. What are your main criteria? 1. late car? 2. low miles? 3. spec - wants and must haves? 4. Colours wanted (and not) 5. Budget/finance needed That would be a good place to start Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leetaylor Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Posibillity mate, depends on the price, i'd probably get the satnav retrofitted, you can get it done with all original parts etc, thus not affecting warranty for £2020.00! Let me know PM me the details when you decide Cheers Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Sidicks, I hope you have more luck than I have had so far mate, because the offers of £3-4k below bottom book for a car that is in immaculate condition are nothing short of an insult.
