If you want to continue driving your current vehicle, you can buy your Mercedes-Benz outright, by paying all your monthly payments due under the agreement, including the final monthly payment, then pay the Optional Purchase Payment (balloon) and Option to Purchase Fee of £10. This'll complete the purchase of your Mercedes-Benz, leaving you free to carry on enjoying your vehicle, which you now own.
Alternatively, you may be able to refinance the Optional Purchase Payment (balloon) over 12-60 months, depending on the age of the vehicle. As this will be a new agreement this will require a new finance application for a Hire Purchase agreement, assessment of affordability and a credit check which you'll need to consent to if you choose to refinance.
Please be advised that due to the changes in interest rates it’s not a guarantee that the refinance quote will match your current monthly payments. To go ahead with this option, you’ll need to contact Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd between 90 - 30 days before the end of your agreement by emailing firstclassfinish@mercedes-benz.com. Please include your agreement number and vehicle registration number.

How to keep your van in shape.
Here are a few tips to help keep your Mercedes-Benz Van running smoothly and in great condition:
• Maintain your van’s exterior by regularly removing the build-up of mud, dirt, dust and residue to prevent rusting – adding a layer of wax to the chassis can help create an additional barrier against the elements.
• Change the filters every 12,000 miles, as recommended by the RAC, to make sure clean air reaches your engine and prevent any substances being drawn into the engine which could impact performance.
• Replace your van’s fluids regularly – there are six to check: coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, windshield fluid and engine oil.
• Don’t let the systems idle as underuse can lead to problems with the mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and electronic components of your vehicle.
