What Is Guaranteed Future Value?
In brief, GFV is a financial product that guarantees the future value of your car when you finance it through Thorp Suzuki. When you buy a new car from us, with GFV we set a guaranteed minimum value for what your car will be worth at the end of your financial agreement term.
You’re protected from unexpected depreciation and market fluctuations, and you’ll pay a lower monthly premium advantage. This takes all the guesswork out of your car financing equation – you’ll know exactly what your car will be worth, regardless of unpredictable market ups and downs.
How Does GFV Work at Thorp Suzuki?
GFV is a straightforward process, and makes getting behind the wheel of your new dream Suzuki a breeze. Here’s how it works:
- Choose Your Suzuki: Explore our wide range of new Suzuki models from compact city cars to rugged SUVs. Find the one that perfectly matches your lifestyle, needs and budget.
- Agree on Terms: Work with our friendly finance experts to customise your GFV agreement. You’ll choose your deposit amount (if any), repayment period (usually 36 or 48 months), and annual mileage limit.
- Drive and Enjoy: Then hit the road and experience the joy of driving a new Suzuki! Provided you stick to the accepted mileage and fair wear-and-tear conditions, you’ll know your car’s future value is guaranteed.
- End-of-Term Options: When your financial sale agreement reaches the end of its term, you’ll have four flexible choices:
- Return Your Vehicle: Simply hand back the keys, with nothing further to pay provided you’ve stayed within the agreed mileage and kept the car in good condition.
- Refinance: If you’ve fallen in love with your Suzuki, refinance the remaining balance (also known as the balloon payment) and continue driving it.
- Settle: Pay off the balloon payment in full and own your Suzuki outright.
- Trade It In: Use the guaranteed value as a trade-in amount towards a brand-new Suzuki model. GFV is the perfect way to ensure you’re always driving a vehicle that’s up-to-date and has the latest technology, safety and performance features.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing GFV at Thorp Suzuki?
Here’s why GFV is the smart way to buy your new Suzuki:
- Flexibility: Life can be full of surprises, and your car financing shouldn’t hold you back. With GFV, you have the freedom to adapt to your changing needs. Whether you want to upgrade to the latest model, keep your current car, or simply return it, the decision is entirely yours to make.
- Peace of Mind: Bid farewell to the anxiety and vagaries of vehicle depreciation and market volatility! With GFV, you’re protected from unexpected market fluctuations. You can budget with confidence, knowing what the future value of your car is, and that it’s value is secure.
- Lower Monthly Payments: Opting for GFV often results in lower monthly instalments compared to traditional car financing loans. This means you can drive the Suzuki you’ve always wanted without stressing your budget (and yourself!).
FAQs
We understand that you might have questions about GFV. Here are some common questions and answers:
What happens if I exceed the agreed mileage, or the car’s condition isn’t up to par?
Please remember that the guaranteed buyback value of your car is conditional on:
- staying within the mileage you agreed to, and
- maintaining the car’s condition in terms of fair wear-and-tear standards.
If you exceed this mileage or your car’s condition is not satisfactory, you may be liable for any shortfall between the guaranteed value and the actual market value.
How does GFV compare to a balloon payment?
Both GFV and balloon payment options involve lower monthly payments and a larger final payment at the end of the term. However, GFV gives you the added benefit of a guaranteed future value, providing you with additional financial security.
Can I choose any Suzuki model with GFV?
GFV availability may vary depending on the specific model you have your eye on and current specials and promotions. Contact our expert financial team at Thorp Suzuki to find out which models are eligible for GFV financing.
