The VW Up GTI Could Be Yours For £139 A Month

We don’t often find ourselves talking about Personal Contract Plans (PCP) on CT, but then they’re not often as tempting as this particular deal. It concerns the new Up GTI, the kinda/sorta saviour of the performance car world, which you can now have for a mere £139 a month.

You’ll need to lay down a £3,493.38 deposit first, to which VW will contribute £500. Then it’s 47 monthly payments of £139, and if you want to keep the car, an optional payment of £4,559.40 to keep it at the end, plus a £10 fee. All told, you’ll be £14,595 down, compared to the £13,750 on-the-road cash price for the three-door version. Just £845 more, in other words.

There is an annual mileage limit of 10,000, but in a car like an Up GTI, it’s not something many are likely to breach. If you do, it’s 4.8p per mile.

Both the three and five-door versions (the latter is £14,150, by the way) of the entertaining 113bhp hatch are on sale now.
