FIAT makes buying a Panda or Punto with PCP even more complicated, why not just sell it properly DUH !

• The FIAT ‘Say No’ sales event commences today, March 10, and runs for two weeks until March 24
• FIAT Panda and Punto customers can ‘Say No’ to a deposit and to the first three monthly repayments* – FIAT has it covered!
• New customer savings and PCP repayment holiday represent an additional £500 saving for a total of £1,950 savings (Panda 1.2 Pop) and £2,455 (Punto 1.2 Pop)*
• Alternatively, the customer savings can be put towards lowering monthly PCP repayments even further!

FIAT customers are being offered the opportunity to say ‘No’ to a deposit and ‘No’ to the first three monthly PCP repayments, so all they have to do is sign and drive off in a new FIAT Panda or FIAT Punto complete with its new “14” registration number.*

For a strictly limited period of two weeks, from March 10 to March 24, FIAT is introducing a new customer saving and three-month PCP repayment holiday which results in an extra £500 saving to buyers of a new FIAT Panda or FIAT Punto. In the case of FIAT Panda 1.2 Pop, for example, this initiative is in addition to the £1,450 savings already on offer, resulting in a total saving to the customer of £1,950. The remaining 44 repayments would be just £107.26 (Representative 3.8% APR) with an optional final repayment £3,062 due in March 2018.  The FIAT Punto 1.2 Pop now offers total savings amounting to £2,455 with monthly repayments of just £129.33 (Representative 4.2% APR) plus an optional final repayment.

Alternatively, customers also have the option of foregoing the deposit contribution and repayment holiday and instead using the £500 FIAT contribution towards their monthly repayments, resulting in a deposit of just £98 and 47 repayments of £98 for the FIAT Panda 1.2 Pop (plus optional final repayment) or a £118 deposit and 47 monthly repayments of £118 for the FIAT Punto 1.2 Pop (plus optional final repayment).

The FIAT ‘Say No’ sales event commences today (March 10) and runs until March 24, 2014 and is open to all retail customers subject to certain terms and conditions*. The offer isn’t limited to the examples given – other versions of the Panda and Punto are available as part of the ‘Say No’ FIAT initiative as well.

Kate McLaren, Senior Brand Manager FIAT UK, commented, “We believe that being able to put a brand new fully-warrantied FIAT Panda or Punto on the driveway, without having to stump up a deposit and with very affordable monthly repayments, offers customers huge peace-of-mind at a time when household budgets are stretched and keeping an older vehicle in safe and roadworthy condition can be a real challenge.The payment holiday also offers a welcome break from monthly payments and frees up those funds to be used elsewhere.”

The five-door FIAT Panda is the second-best selling car in its segment in Europe, behind the FIAT 500, and is a practical, efficient and stylish city car. The FIAT Punto offers even more space and comfort, as well as the option of a sporty three-door hatchback, while retaining the efficiency and affordable stylishness that FIAT is synonymous with.
