VW Finance APR
«

A friend of mine is looking to buy a approved used MK6 Golf 1.4. The local dealer has one for £12k and the salesman sent him a finance proposal which states 13% APR. I'm not up to speed with current APR rates but this seems very high, especially as VW are offering 6% on some new cars.
What should the rate be?
Thanks

Well the rate is always massively more than the brand new rate, so it sounds about right.
I was looking at a used 325d Coupe the other day and was quoted 10.9%, compared to 3.9% on a new 3-series.

6% of 30,00, is 1800 13% of 12000 is not far off the same amount of finance profit so it sounds about the same % ish. They could probably do better than 6% on the new car as lots of car companies use the APR as a marketing tool.

Finance is where a large part of the dealers profit comes from

The voice of objective reason, but mine's best.

I'd expect 8-9% on a used car, I'd be looking at a loan elsewhere to be honest.
