Just gone for the same with another company, exactly the same deal but with no doc fee. Car to be delivered in February. Getting it in 'deep impact blue' - looks almost like an ST, if you squint a bit.

Rivervale? Went for impact blue as well. Only had silver and black as other colour options.

Ordered a Spirit Blue Fiesta ST-2 with style pack yesterday, March 2nd delivery from Rivervale....good prices and service all round up to now. They get good reviews on Trustpilot as well.

This might be of interest for some people:

BMW 125d, 23+3, 10k/yr, £216/month, £648 initial on a personal lease.

This was mentioned earlier in the thread and is very tempting. I received a quote from them the a few days ago; they quoted stock in white but will need to check back as I would be looking for black.

Still playing around with spreadsheets at the moment as I have two options; lease this or buy a 2009 Z4 either privately or auction for £12k. The lease deal is £5616 (will probably be nearer £6500 when the mileage is increased), or £5000 for a Z4 taking into account finance costs, likely depreciation, road tax and maintenance etc. The Z4 would allow me more flexiblility if I wanted to change (and would arguably by more fun than the 125d), whereas the 125d is new and I wouldn't have the hassle of both buying and selling. Decisions, decisions....

Ordered a spirit blue fiesta st3 with style pack and parking sensors.... 282 a month with a small deposit. Over 3 years 9k per year milage allowance. Feel ok about that. Ford options.

But which one do you want? Buying cars based on spread sheets rarely works out for people who like cars!

Judging by what others have posted that looks expensive.

[Martyboy84]

From others who have done the ford options thing it seems ok. Certaintly not cheap but more expensive than a straight lease for sure. What I do like is with FO you build up a kind of equity after half the term which you can use as deposit for the next upgrade. My small deposit was 250. If I'd paid a grand or so I guess 250/260 a month?

I did see some people paying 200 pm with a 1000 deposit.

Hopefully I've not been done but it feels ok to me
My old zs was 220 a month.

however buying a car you would enjoy also based on the numbers is kind of the point of this thread...

Which suggests that Ford options is expensive. 'Building up equity' seems to occur only because you are overpaying for the deal in the first place?

[Martyboy84]

You are probably right mate

Anyone seen some good private deals on pickups such as an L200, Amarok or Hilux?
ETA For the mileage I'm after looks like they're pretty pricey.

Anyone ordered (or received) a C250 AMG line with Premium Plus? Just curious how long the lead time was for you. The only optional extra outside of the pack I've asked for is the 19" wheels.

Does anyone know of any good deals on the Golf R or BMW M135i?

Was in ford today, and had a quote of something very similar off the bat without any negotiation - from reading around it seems there is plenty of wiggle room for a better deal to be had.

I think you missed the boat on these, mate.

Just found the Swap A Lease website and wondered if anyone knew of any more similar websites?

What risks are there in taking on an existing lease?
