When contemplating the expenses associated with acquiring or leasing a new vehicle, many of us tend to focus on the initial costs without adequately considering the expenses involved in maintaining the vehicle over the subsequent 3 or 4 years.
The impacts of escalating costs over the past year, such as increasing mortgage rates, energy bills, and rising food prices, have affected us all.
Consider a car service currently priced at £300 – how much do you anticipate it will cost in three years? And what about a set of tyres presently priced at £1,000? The effects of inflation on these costs can be significant.
This is where a Fully Maintained Finance Agreement proves advantageous. The cost is fixed from Day 1, and any subsequent price hikes become, essentially, not your concern.
