Finance companys work 3 months in arrears so there will be no lower rates passed onto the consumer at the moment. In my opinion when rates were good, 10.9% on a pcp was about the norm so to still get it in the current climate seems good, however good rates of finance are all about the 'flat' rate, APR amounts can seem high, particulary as doc fees etc will pump it up.

Also you cant compare a pcp with ordinary hp as there is a lump of money at the end of the agreement and the interest is compounded up because of that.

>10% = Not the best
<10% >9% = Ok
<9% = Good deal

IMHO.
