Agreed, but the detail is worth looking at.

For a 335i msport over 4 yrs / 40k miles they are suggesting:

10.9% APR for PCP with a balloon of £ 9,520

6.4% APR for lease purchase with a balloon of £ 8,400

Both balloons are low. I reckon you would easily get £15k for the car at the end of the term. Maybe less, but anything under £10k is well and truly safe.

Where it gets more interesting is the total payable. Lease purchase is £3,309.28 less than the PCP figure.

As the risk on value is pretty low, for me lease purchase is the obvious answer IF those rates are real.
