     F i n a n c e T h a t P u t s Yo u I n T h e D r i v e r ’s S e a t
   Assured Future Value is a flexible finance solution that provides you with options so you
   can drive into the future knowing what the road ahead holds.

   4 AFFORDABLE - Have the certainty of regular low fixed payments.
   4 YOU’RE  IN CONTROL - You choose the terms & kms. Decide later what happens at
     the end of your term.

   4 PEACE OF MIND - You’ll know the guaranteed future value of vehicle upfront.

 Pick your vehicle   Choose your term and km allowance      We will tell you the Assured      Enjoy your vehicle
                     - select from 1-4 year repayment       Future Value (AFV) upfront
                     terms and 10,000-25,000 annual km
                     allowance.

 At the end of your term the final payment will be the AFV amount. You can choose to
 RENEW      Trade in your vehicle and upgrade to a new vehicle. If the trade in value is higher than your final
            payment you can use that as a deposit for your new vehicle.

 RETAIN     At the end of your term the final payment will be the guaranteed future value amount. You can
            choose to keep your vehicle by refinancing or paying the remaining balance to buy it outright.

 RETURN You can choose to return your vehicle provided it meets vehicle condition guidelines and all
            monthly payments are up-to-date. There is no final payment, all you pay is the disposal fee, any
            excess mileage or wear and tear charges.
