The Dacia Sandero is available for just £99 a month, over a three-year term, in a headline-grabbing new deal from the value brand.
It isn’t the basic entry-level model, either: the £13,545 Sandero Comfort TCe 90 comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, keyless entry, rear parking sensors and automatic headlights.
So what’s the catch? It’s not a PCP deal, but a PCH leasing offer, meaning motorists don’t get the option to buy or trade in the car at the end of the term – they simply hand it back.
What’s more, the upfront advance rental payment is a not-inconsiderable £4,026.
Personal contract hire is becoming a popular way into new car ownership, as list prices continue to rise. Leasing helps keep monthly payments more manageable.
It also simplifies things for owners, many of whom use PCP finance deals largely like a leasing package: they simply trade into a new car every three years.
PCH simply cuts out the complication of part-purchasing a car before swapping it for another one – provided, that is, owners can stretch to the not-inconsiderable advance payment.
Motorists who take on a £99 Sandero are also contracted to 6,000 miles: exceeding this will result in a financial penalty for every mile over the agreed total.
And just to be clear, Dacia stresses that ‘you will not own the car’ in its terms and conditions.
The £99 Dacia Sandero PCH deal runs until 30 November and cars must be registered before 31 March 2021.
