GAP

flintymutt · 11-20-2015, 02:11 AM

I know this has been talked over many a time but I'm still none the wiser. Some people seem to make things complicated for my small brain to compute.

Which is the best type of GAP insurance given I've had a good discount upfront on the purchase cost of my car? I'm doing a BMW PCP.

Is it Vehicle Replacement or Back to Invoice?

It doesn't get made much more spot on and concise as that

There are some excellent gap threads on the UK forum.

They do return on search functions, relatively easy to spot as lots of posts and appreciates.

However as said above FP, ALA, C2C, full replacement.

Use full price with options not discount etc.

Why not get the dealer to throw it in? I agreed the price for the car than said I'd leave a deposit now if he threw in GAP and my cherished plate transfer which he did.

When is the delivery of the M135i?

What was the final spec? You told me AW, but nothing more?

Just done GAP with Frank Pickles for vehicle replacement. 330d M Sport cost around £170 for 3 years.

That's great, don't lose the paperwork as 'IF' you change you can transfer it too usually, I did from 235 to M4 and was rather chuffed.

No deposit, lower PCP per month, however I'd say the car is negative £3.5k
