Lease on Golf R

[BensZ4MC]

Today I was offered a Black or Lapis Blue 5DR DGS car delivered beginning of April for £329pm with £2K upfront over 24 months including road tax for the duration.

Unfortunately there isn't any availability to add extras - even so seems like great value..

[BensZ4MC]

The above are including VAT.

Must be a cancellation, I just ordered an R on lease and specced it as I wanted.

Chris just dropped you a PM. cheers

Here's the link to the 3-door deal too, £269 p/m. I'm very, very close to pulling the trigger on this one myself. Just hoping I won't miss the V6 in my R32 too much!

Not much has been reported on the R yet but the road tests for the new S3's engine are favourable. Unless thay have managed to really mess up the installation of the same engine in the Golf it should be a good indication.

From EVO:

"The S3’s engine is a cracker: smooth-revving, lag-free and delivering serious performance without apparent effort. You can use its broad power band as you choose – working it hard, which it enjoys, or trusting the gutsy mid-range to pull a taller ratio. The engine might only be an in-line four-cylinder turbo but it is one of the best sounding that I’ve heard; it’s deep and cultured with a lovely hard edge to it."

Quite impressed that these are been offered so cheaply so soon after launch. I was quite tempted by the M135i last month on lease but decided against it. This looks a better option IMO

[likesachange]

Deals on the m135i are more tempting surely.. £250 a month people are getting before options....

[BensZ4MC]

Those deals on the M135 don't exist any more and a basic one has a lot less spec than an R..

Yep st spec. No cruise or parking sensors even though they are standard on a 2003 316i SE

I'm also interested in the new Golf R, but would prefer PCP over PCH.

Is anyone aware of any good deals for PCP?

[BensZ4MC]

Deals aren't that great on PCP. Was quoted after an 8% discount - 8k miles per year, 48 months, £1k deposit - with DSG, metallic, ACC at around £450 per month.

Lease is therefore allot cheaper and I can change my car for a new one after 2 years and nothing spent on maintenance or road tax.

Hi Benz, would you mind dropping me a pm with the lease co details please? Sounds like a lot of car for the £££ and would work for me!

Cheers

[WannabeMKII]

That's what I've been finding aswell.

I'm just nervous as most comments favour PCP over PCH...

[JBone78]

I was actually looking at a RS4 but the offers aren't strong enough for me to be able to take the plunge. The R would provide 95% of the real world experience, obviously without a beautiful V8 soundtrack! At theose lease rates might even leave something over for a 'proper' sports car...

[SausageBap]

Just looking at these deals as well. It's a lot of car for the money, I notice the boot is slightly smaller on these compared to a standard golf although I assume the interior isn't affected?

I must be mad, I cancelled my company ordered gtd in November as I was fed up of waiting (ordered in July), however this works out quite a bit cheaper even taking insurance into consideration and this has 300bhp

[BensZ4MC]

Interior is unchanged apart and boot is around the same size as the MK6 Golf so still very useable..

With 300hp and a much stiffer bodyshell, better Haldex & better DSG, what's to miss about the asthmatic R32?

£270 a month covers an R32's fuel bills, just about, so you'd be better off too!

It's a no brainer for me, and yes, I do also have an R32

Like the previous R Golfs the boot is shallower compared to the rest of the range to allow for the Haldex and rear diff.

[snorkel sucker]

Crikey!

I've enquired a price on a 5dr manual at 25k per annum ...

Guessing the lead in on these will be mega though given what's been said about other VAG products?
