A-Class push on APR front
Mercedes’ efforts to push stock of the A150 Classic SE three-door involve cutting the 36-month PCP’s APR from 9.9% to 3.8%. The deposit has also been reduced from £2,999 to just £999 and the monthly payments trimmed by £20 to £179, with the final payment rising to £6,400 from £6,050.

Peugeot baby up for adoption
Arguably a sign that Peugeot’s pioneering sliding door 1007 is not flying off the shelves is provided by a £1,750 range discount and a 4.9% APR PCP. The 407 range maintains its free sat-nav offer plus a £1,000 deposit contribution on PCP or HP, the latter with a 35% deposit and 0% interest over three years also applying to the 307.

Alhambra discount and PCP
Seat seems to be vying with VW Group stablemate Skoda for value brand status with discounts across the range, culminating in £2,500 off the Alhambra 1.9TDi Stylance. It qualifies for 6.9% APR, up to 36-month PCP with a minimum 15% deposit.

X3 on hire ground
BMW is offering the 2-litre diesel X3 on a contract hire basis over two years. The deal is an initial £1,022, then 23 months at £299.

Subaru’s 4x4x5 offers
Subaru is taking the long-term five-year approach to 0% HP with its rally bred Impreza lll, WRX ST1. A £8,712 deposit is followed by 60 months at £280 and an equivalent format for the Forester 2.5XT translates into £8,284 down and £280 monthly payments.
