Astra: monthly finance cost

The Vauxhall Astra is built in Britain for British roads, and its finance figures keep it firmly in the mainstream. Priced at £23,995, hire purchase with a 10% deposit of £2,399.50 at 9.9% APR over 48 months costs £546.68 a month, with a total amount payable of £28,640.14. Fixed monthly payments make the commitment easy to plan around - insurance, servicing and road tax are extra as usual.

Astra finance in the UK comes in both flavours. HP is the straightforward one: at about £547 a month the full price plus interest is divided evenly, with no mileage limits and ownership transferring automatically at the end. PCP usually advertises a lower monthly figure by deferring a guaranteed future value into an optional final balloon payment, leaving you a choice to make when the term ends.

Consider the APR what-if from the other side: these numbers assume 9.9%, but a stronger credit profile could secure a lower rate and shave the £546.68 monthly payment, while a weaker one would push it higher. Either way, the actual APR you are offered will depend on your credit status - so treat the total amount payable as your comparison tool, not just the monthly figure. A larger deposit helps at any rate, by reducing the balance that interest is charged on.

HP or PCP for the Astra? HP rewards keepers with simplicity and eventual outright ownership. PCP rewards flexibility with lower monthlies and a choice of options at term end. Verdict: honest mainstream numbers for an honest mainstream British hatchback.
