We know that buying a car is a significant investment, which is why we offer finance options to help you stretch your car payment and stay on top of your budget. Even if you are new to the world of car finance, the finance specialists at MG Motor Ireland will help by giving you all the impartial advice you need.
The finance contracts that we offer are Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Plans (PCP). The differences between each are significant, with one more likely to suit you than the others. For instance, it is important to keep in mind that each plan has different payment periods, as well as deposit amounts and details regarding ownership.
Browse our website to learn more about the finance plans we have available, and then get in touch to learn more about our offers and selection of new MG cars. We look forward to helping you purchase your next dream car.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is a finance product that allows you the opportunity to buy a new car.
It is similar to a Hire Purchase agreement as you will usually pay an initial deposit, followed by monthly instalments over a term typically between 24 to 36 months.
What makes PCP different to Hire Purchase (HP) is that your monthly instalments are paying off the depreciation of the car, and not its entire value, over the course of the term. Then, when you get to the end of your agreement, there is a final, lump-sum payment that must be made if you want to keep the car. The lump-sum payment is often referred to also as the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV).
When you have chosen your vehicle, you will then agree your annual mileage and decide on the agreement term with one of our Business Managers.
We will then determine the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) of the vehicle at the end of the agreement and work out a deposit and monthly amount that works for you.
At the end of your agreement you will then have three options:
Return – Simply return the car back to us
Retain – Keep the car by paying the optional final payment
Renew – Trade it in for another car

You can normally settle your agreement early by asking the finance company to provide you with a settlement figure. However, the finance company will require you to pay off the difference between what your car is worth, and what you still owe and there may be a difference which is known as negative equity. On the other hand, you may find that at the end of your term your car is worth more than the Minimum Guaranteed Future Value, which means you will have some positive equity to contribute towards your next car.
Hire Purchase is a way to finance buying a new car. You will normally pay an initial deposit and will pay off the entire value of the car in monthly instalments. When all the payments are made, the Hire Purchase agreement ends, and you own the car outright.
The short answer is yes, you can end your finance early. There are different provisions within each finance agreement that allows you to do just that. If you have got through two-thirds of the way through your finance agreement, the options to end the finance agreement early open up.
For a Hire Purchase agreement, there is an option of paying it off early through a settlement fee. A settlement fee covers the cost of any remaining unpaid instalments and interest payments remaining on the agreement. Once the settlement fee is paid, you take full ownership of the car early.
Under a Personal Contract Purchase agreement, you can also pay a settlement fee for bringing the agreement to an end early. After that, you can choose to hand the car back or you have a second option. Through a PCP agreement, you can take full ownership of the car by paying off the remaining Guaranteed Minimum Future Value also known as a lump-sum payment.
