Which car on PCP?

I'd like advice on what 5dr hatchback to buy please. Would like to put a £2k deposit on an £8k car, with four year payment plan at roughly £125.00 per month.

I need a 1.4 to 1.6-litre engine. Age 2012/3. Mileage under 20k. 0% finance preferred. Quick acceleration. Sporty/smart looks and interior. Considering: Peugeot 308, SEAT Leon, Mazda 3, Volkswagen Golf, Ford Fiesta.

Conventional wisdom tells you to look at new car PCP deals rather than used. With £2k deposit and £125 a month you can get a good 3 year deal that should leave you equity in the car at the end of the 3 years for another deal. Hyundai PCPs are calculated on a residual that leaves around 15% equity.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
