Outright Purchase
Outright purchase is the simplest way to purchase your vehicle. The cash price of the vehicle is paid upfront, which saves you paying any interest on monthly payments as there are none. From a taxation point of view, you will only be able to claim back the write down allowances, which is a maximum of £3000 per car. The advantages are:
- Ideal for those who want total ownership of their vehicles
- No Contracts or agreements
- The vehicle is yours to do with as you please from day one
