The bottom line here is that these pcp companies are not doing it to help you out, they are doing it to make money.

if they are making money, you are loosing. It's very simple.

Buy something you can afford, even if that's with a personal loan - as long as you're not stretched.

At the end, you own it, and can decide to keep or trade in. Whatever suits.

Don't stretch yourself for a car, don't forget the car will be worth next to nothing in 5 years or more.

I would get a decent 5-6 year old car with normal mileage, calculate your loss on it over 3 or 4 years and save up for later. (but then i'm a boring 40yr old now).

You never know where you are in a few years time, buying a house or a 2nd kid etc..
