Why Alex chose Magnitude Finance
Alex is a lifelong car fanatic and after leaving Love Island he decided to buy a Mercedes C63 AMG which he financed through Magnitude. But not long after Alex’s head was turned by a stunning Riviera blue Audi R8 V10 Plus.
Demonstrating proof of income is never straightforward for those working in media (even when you are a doctor) – but working closely with Alex Baldwin of Magnitude, Alex chose a regulated hire purchase agreement with a final balloon payment for his R8 in the knowledge that he might want to change the car before the end of the agreement. This plan was chosen so Alex remains in a positive equity position and doesn’t have to pay early settlement penalty fees when he decides to change his car – again.
The Audi R8 V10 Plus he chose came from DMB Collection. Scroll down to watch the collection video.
Finance Types
Hire Purchase
Under a Hire Purchase agreement, you usually pay a deposit at the start of the agreement. You then pay the rest of the value of the car in instalments, over a period of between 3 and 5 years.
Balanced Payment Plan
A Balanced Payment Plan offers the benefits of a fixed monthly payment, however tracks the changes in the finance house base rate, LIBOR or bank base, depending on the agreement.
Personal Contract Purchase
PCP is a popular way of financing a vehicle and is usually based upon a Hire Purchase agreement. The main difference is that the vehicle’s value at the end of the agreement is calculated at the start.
Specialist Facilities
We have access to a number of specialist lenders that will look at high value vehicles over £1 million, classic and exotic cars, refinancing existing deals, equity release or even assets other than vehicles.
