Car Finance Made Simple:

Finance Options Available:

At Northridge Cars, the most commonly used car finance options are:

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP finance is a popular option if your goal is to own the car outright.                                                                                                   With HP:
You usually pay a deposit (in some cases, this can be flexible)
Then make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term.
Once the final payment is made, the car is yours.
HP is often a good fit for customers who want a simple route to ownership with no large final payment.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

PCP is often chosen for lower payments and more flexibility at the end.
With PCP:
You pay a deposit
then fixed monthly payments over a set term
And at the end, you usually have 3 options:
pay the final payment and keep the car
Return the car
Use any available equity towards another vehicle.
PCP can be a good option if you like changing your car more regularly.

If you're weighing your choices, here’s how PCP compares to HP to help you decide which might be better for you.
There’s no single best option—it depends on your priorities.
HP may suit you better if:
You want to own the car outright.
You prefer a simple agreement structure.
You plan to keep the car long-term.

PCP may suit you better if:
You want lower monthly payments.
You like changing cars every few years.
You want flexibility at the end of the term.

If you’re unsure, we’ll explain both HP and PCP and help you compare options.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products, we act as their agent for this introduction. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available. We may advise you on the products, subject to your personal circumstances, though you are not obliged to take our advice or recommendation. We do not charge you a fee for our services. we will typically receive commission from whichever lender we introduce you to (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). Acting as a credit broker we can introduce you to a selected group of lenders / brokers who may be able to help you finance your purchase. This group of lenders / brokers provides us with a range of products which may be suitable for your purchase. We will explain the key features of those products to you. Unless we consider it to be inappropriate given your personal circumstances, our approach is to introduce you to the lender who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account interest rates, residual valuations (where applicable). If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we will introduce you to other lenders on our panel. The lender we introduce you to and available rates will depend upon a number of factors including your personal circumstances and the likelihood of a lender to accept an application based on information provided. Lenders typically pay a commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by the amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions; some lenders may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you would like to know the amount of any remuneration we have received from the finance provider, please ask us. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over, guarantees may be required.
