..Just out of interest how did you finance the purchase of your new Jazz / HRV?

[JJazz]

I was P/EX & £795 cash but they gave me a £700 pack I never asked for and got £180 back on my wheel and tyre insurance for my car.

Interesting.  If we assume  all those who took finance intending to pay off early only did so  to get the servicing package and would otherwise have bought outright,thats over 70%.

 UK average on new cars bought outright is less than 10% .

I turned up with the usual intention of buying outright but the salesman explained the minimum finance advantage

Looking at the top graph I'm surprised at all those missing out on the free triple 5 year bonuses.

I'll be paying off the finance after 7 months though to keep the bonus.

...I suppose this should relate to the HRV too now.

[Neil Ives]

Trade-in with cash adjustment. I ticked 'Cash - outright'

Looking at the terms and conditions for new finance deals with Honda it looks like you only have to finance £5,000 to get the 5 year servicing, 5 year warranty and 5 year breakdown cover.

They have also included a term that you have to pay at least 6 monthly payments before paying off the finance or they will cancel the 5 year extras.

Thats the same as it was in September.

Only just spotted this thread. I bought my Crosstar last September and chose to take the £5,000 loan with the intention to pay it off after the 6th payment. As others have said, it's a no-brainer to get the 5+5+5 package, especially as I usually pay cash anyway. Also got a good price for my trade-in.

Was going to pay cash outright but my dealer pointed out that by taking Honda Finance I could get the 5 year service/warranty deal. So I took minimum £5k finance and will pay it off after making 6 payments.

[Pixie 22]

I was intending to buy outright but I opted for the minimum finance package (£5k over 2 years with the option to pay it off after 7 monrhs) to qualify for the free 5 year servicing, warranty and Hondacare cover.

The small finance interest v paying for servicing was a no brainer.

I couldn't tick a vote box because I'm not fully any option.

that’s what I did.

+1 for the minimum finance package, paying off in full at month 7.

The 5 year servicing and 5 year AA cover was too tempting.   I'm also P/ex'ing my 2012 Jazz in the deal.

Did you do this recently? I'm hoping to do the same. I saw in the website T&C, they say "Maximum customer deposit 30%". I wonder if it was added recently or always been there.

I don't know when the deal was set up by Honda, but I signed the deposit paperwork last month (March 22).

[Jazzyone]

The 30% maximum deposit is if you take a PCP plan for finance. If you take their HP finance plan which is still 5% apr
You can put down what you like against the new one. I used the full £16,900 value of my Arona using the HP plan to get the service and warranty deal with my new SR at the beginning of March. I’ll pay it off in October.

[Vwoof]

Thank you, both. I'll go get mine.
