Audi Q3 Finance Calculator:
Found your Q3 and got a finance figure from the dealer? That doesn't mean the rate you've been offered is automatically the best one available.
Prefinance makes that comparison for you: we take the dealer's own finance example for the exact Q3 you're looking at and compare it against the best available rate from our panel of finance brokers for that type of vehicle. On average, that turns up savings of up to 30% against dealer finance; though that's an average, not a promise, and some Q3 dealer finance is already competitively priced. The rates and calculations correct at time of posting but are subject to change.

Across Audi finance generally, Prefinance customers have seen an average APR of 8.81% through our panel, compared with a dealer average of 12.12%, working out to an average monthly saving of £59.26 and an average total saving of £2,738.09, based on 311 comparisons. Your own saving depends on your credit profile, the lender, and the specific deal in front of you.
What's the difference between PCP and HP on a Q3?
Both are hire purchase agreements — you don't own the car outright until the final payment clears — but they divide up the cost differently. HP (Hire Purchase) spreads the full price, minus your deposit, evenly across the term, so the monthly figure is higher, but you're building toward ownership the whole time. PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) defers a chunk of the price to a Guaranteed (Minimum) Future Value at the end, which keeps the monthly payment down; you can then pay it to keep the car, hand it back, or put it toward the next one.
How does Prefinance work out the savings?
You give us the vehicle — by registration, by make and model, or by pasting in a link from a dealer site or a listings site like Autotrader, provided that page shows a finance example. We read the dealer's own quote and compare it against the best available rate from our broker panel for that type of vehicle. The comparison assumes you'd qualify for the panel's best rate, which depends on your credit profile, and that the dealer you're buying from is FCA authorised. Every comparison is saved, so you can come back and check previous ones too.
What affects the rate you're offered?
Credit score is the biggest factor, but deposit size, term length and the car's age all apply to the numbers, as the table above shows. A longer term usually lowers the monthly payment but adds to the total interest paid. And one thing worth knowing: dealers and brokers earn commission for arranging finance, which is a genuine reason two near-identical Q3s can be offered at different rates by different dealers; exposing that gap is a large part of what our comparison actually does.
What to check before you apply
Confirm the deposit and mileage in your comparison match the dealer's actual quote — the deposit is editable, but a mismatch elsewhere skews the result.
Ask what happens to your monthly payment if the matched lender's GFV differs from the dealer's — don't assume it'll be identical.
Read the broker's full representative example before signing anything — it carries the exact figures for your deal, not the illustrative ones above.
If you're comparing a small deposit against a larger one, check whether it actually changes the finance type (PCP versus HP), not just the monthly figure — as the table above shows, it can do both.
None of this tells you upfront whether the dealer's Q3 quote in front of you is already competitive — sometimes it is, especially where a manufacturer-subsidised rate or a dealer deposit contribution is involved. The only way to know for sure is to run the comparison on your specific car and see what the panel of brokers deliver.
