  • Official pcp quote and wtf? 15 Aug 2014 (Forum)
    Hi, I was wondering why when getting a pcp quote both volkswagen and audi wont give you the piece of paper the quote was printed on becasue it is not on an 'official' piece of paper? Also I was wondering whether dealers quote a higher finaly payment/gmfv if they think they are selling a car to you for a higher price, the reason I ask is: 'Whats car depreciation calculator' has the Audi a3 sportback 150 se 5dr at £8576 after 4 years but the dealer told me the final payment after 49 months would be £11803.
