Just another thought: If you are over 50% through your current PCP deal, do a voluntary Termination. They take the car back and you owe them nothing, then start again.
Great thanks, just been doing one for the missus on a golf and quotes coming back at about 2.5k discount when VW already offering 2K anyway - pretty pants additional discount, but I guess it totals around 10% so not the worst in the world.
Try a different variant, discounts vary wildly across the range. For instance, a £37.5k Golf GTi Clubsport 40 (with options) can be had with 4.9% (£1800) discount. A £37.5k Golf R gets 16% (£6000) off.
No it doesn't, my sister did it earlier in the year with her VW, before they had even collected the VW she went out and got another PCP deal with Ford on a new KA.
It was about 8 months before the 3yr deal was due to end, the car was worth less then, than what the GFV was at the end, so she saw no point in keeping it to just hand it back. She got another new car for the same money that she was paying out.
The voluntary termination will remain on your credit file, and might cause a borderline application/proposal to be declined, or conditioned. For example, the finance company might decide to only accept you if you have a large deposit if you have a history of vt-ing vehicles, as that limits their potential risk.
So it doesn't affect your rating, and doing it once probably doesn't matter, but you wouldn't want to make a habit of it.
