Independent UK guidance on premium used cars, salary-sacrifice EVs, warranty and specialist insurance.
PCP and HP for premium used cars, salary-sacrifice EV cost math, the FCA motor-finance redress scheme, and the credit-card deposit strategies UK buyers use on Amex Platinum, Barclaycard, NatWest and MBNA. Explainers cover positive and negative equity at PCP balloon, the conditions under which an early settlement actually saves money, and what the FCA’s discretionary commission rulings mean for live agreements.
