Lovely car but those E class Mercs are very noisy at speed. I was in the back of one at 70mph on the motorway the other day and kept having to ask the driver to repeat himself! Nice looking cars (and I'd definitely have one) but the equivalent 5 series is a lot quieter on the motorway.
Surely that sort of thing depends entirely on the wheel/ tyre configuration? Even just swapping between say Dunlops and Continentals can have a big impact

Question for those that will have more knowledge about leasing than myself.

I want to lease maybe a 3 series touring or c class estate, obviously you get a lot better deals through business lease rather than personal.

Now I do have a LTD company but really don't want to put the car through the business as I've got a commercial vehicle I use for that. Can I just give them all the business details and pay using my personal account? Or is this a bit naughty?

Sure it will have been answered before but why are business deals lots better than personal? Whats the difference from lease company's point of view?
No you can't.

Not all business deals are better than personal though. So it's worth asking the question

Waaaaaaaaay back in May I took advantage of the Merc E300 deal from Gateway2Lease. Well the car is at the dealers and is being delivered to me on Thursday. Couple of pics the dealer sent through below:
That's a great looking car! I think the Merc is the best looking estate in the class - great interior too.

Would you mind sharing the details of the deal you got?

Some place will do personal bank accounts, others won't. Also, I think certain manufacturers finance houses look out for names on account i.e. a LTD name, or a private individual.

There are some leases out there where there is almost like a half and half ground, i.e. a deal in between personal and business. It's usually for company directors and people who get car allowances.

I remember when these were around. Nice to see some actual cars in this thread!

Such a lot of car for the money.

Sure is, that's why I snapped one up. Been a long wait mind you (almost 4 months!).

Anyway, here's another deal I've stumbled across: Range Rover Evoque 2.2D for £265/month (£324 inc VAT) on a 6+23 at 10k p/a.

I didn't know. I'm rather out the loop on leasing

Haha.

I will say that I nearly sold my E350 Estate because of overall cabin noise, but swapped from the Contis that it came on to some Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres and it was 100x better.

Thanks for sharing - certainly a good deal. As a comparison, I test drove a 2011 E350 estate a few weeks ago and after a £5k deposit, the monthly PCP payments were a good bit higher than what you are paying.

As someone has said, it's great to see some real cars appearing on the thread!

Took delivery of my Mini Cooper from Gateway2lease last week, 6+24 10k 189.00 inc maintenance. Chose to get it a week early on a 14 plate because I´m an impatient sod but had the option to wait for a 64 had I wanted to.

Can´t fault their service or Dick Lovett´s; the supplying dealership.

That certainly looks the part, although it's not cheap. Still, it will be lovely with the roof down (I'll have to make do with my Pano roof).

Does your car have the LED ILS lights? I'm looking forward to trying them out on mine.

Thanks. It was the best deal I could find and if I'd delayed delivery until the new reg they wanted £24 a month more.

As for the lights, I'm ashamed to say I don't know. I've no options added so if they are standard it's a yes or an add on its a no!

I've got an ML 350 at the mo as well ( long story) and the engine is fantastic. Powerful, smooth and quiet way nicer than the one I have in my 250 SLK.

Wow, £24/month for the new reg. Cheeky beggars!

They're pretty well kitted out cars as standard. I've added a few options to mine, but that's because I'm a tart.
