Personal attacks aside, which is an other off topic post 
, can we keep this more on track please?
The majority of people on here appear to consider this thread to be 'The Lease Thread', but a minority of posters want the thread to be restricted to just pounds, shillings and pence for particular deals. What's likely to happen is that TheBrokers new thread (well meaning though it certainly is) will drop off the bottom of the page and be forgotten, and this thread will continue to be 'The Lease Thread'. There will be new posters asking how to avoid BiK tax, asking about PCP deals, or (as in the case of TheBroker) offering useful insider information in the hope of getting some business as a result. There's no point in whingeing about it, that's the way it is and I for one have no problem with it, the thread isn't hugely long, there are not many posts (usually), and most of us only need a new lease deal every few years so dip in and out., can we keep this more on track please?I have to say, there's something strangely obsessive about the regular posters on here, how many lease deals do people want? I'm just about to order my third car since September (one lease, two purchases), but that must be the exception rather than the rule surely?

Just had a quote back: £149 a month, 3 months up front and no document fee on a 1.0 zetec from "Elite Vehicle Leasing".
Anyone heard of them/used them?
I ordered a Zetec S 1.0 ecoboost last month for the wife at 3+35 at £150 a month via what car leasing. They all seem to be main dealers so no doc feesAnyone heard of them/used them?
You guys need to get a relative to work for BMW!!
Brother has recently started and I have access to the friends and family rates... they have a 435d M Sport Convertible... no deposit and £295 a month!!!!!
Trying to talk the OH into it, but it's more likely she'll end up in a 1 or 2 series. But some incredible stuff on the list.
Go forth and find a family member... and get them a job.

Its called Alpha Drive and the deals change all the time but generally there are some insane deals on there. The best I saw was a frozen edition e92 M3 for £399 without deposit!Brother has recently started and I have access to the friends and family rates... they have a 435d M Sport Convertible... no deposit and £295 a month!!!!!

I have loads of mates who work for BMW but the criteria are strict (Family) and I cant get the deals
I accepted it because we need the car and they know about all the damage.
I have sent them all the photos/info and I will ring them in the morning to chase them up. Supplying dealer is in Manchester so I have told the lease company I will be taking it to the Watford one (I know them well).

Over the years I've had loads of lease cars, and at least as many bought new cars, I've never had one delivered in that state. It looks more like a hire car than a new car, and even if it were a hire car you'd need to carefully record all the damage before accepting the car to avoid being charged when it went back.
That is in a shocking state for a new vehicle.
Did you source it direct with a dealer or through a broker?
If through a broker, you need to call them and get them to sort it out, that is after all why you use us.
Unfortunately we cannot legislate for a poor delivery driver or a rubbish PDI so on the (RARE) occasion a vehicle gets delivered to a customer not PERFECT (and I mean locally valeted before delivery, and obviously not damaged) we send the driver to get it valeted and/or get the supplying dealer to reimburse the customer for a valet or, on the one occasion we have had the vehicle was damaged, we arranged for an FOC courtesy car whilst everything was resolved.
If I allowed customers to have vehicles delivered in that state... well I just wouldn't!
If you dealt with a dealer directly, you need to be shouting at them to get it resolved at no cost/inconvenience to you, put simply if they wouldn't hand over a car in a showroom in that condition they shouldn't deliver one in that condition.
May I ask what dealer it was supplied through (if you used a broker check your number plate or hand book which will tell you).
Good Luck!

Are they anything like that 2K down and 107.99 a month that CVL were doing on the manual !
Damn her auto only license - been a ballache for as long as we've been together
The CVL DSG deal is still there - http://www.centralukvehicleleasing.co.uk/vehicle/c...Damn her auto only license - been a ballache for as long as we've been together
£2k down and £124.99 a month, so quite a cheap increase given the extra cost of the gearbox
Like all VWFS deals it seems to be based on a low annual mileage (5k) but the excess is only 6p per mile

I have spoken to the lease company on the phone and emailed them everything. The driver rang me when he was a couple of miles away to ask where a local petrol station was with a jet wash and brush but I told him to come straight here as I didn't want him damaging the car (ironic isn't it) It had a film of dirt on it but nothing major.
I will speak to the lease company tomorrow to see what they say as they said they need to speak to the supplying dealer first. If they have not got a definitive solution by the end of play tomorrow then I will escalate it further.
The car is great and exactly what she wanted but i'm not having her drive around in a brand new car with damage. Can you believe only the drivers seat is fully electric and the passenger if completely manual???

The problem is that this thread isn't "ask the broker". To be fair to the guy he's said he's set up just that thread elsewhere. Topics are topics and if you start saying "people should post what they like" then it's at odds with point of having topics at all. The idea that anyone trying to support any sort of structure instead of chaos is somehow wanting to be "thread monitor" is just stupid primary school bulls
t. In fact, is telling everyone they can post what they like NOT being thread monitor yourself? This is really childish.
Please just t. In fact, is telling everyone they can post what they like NOT being thread monitor yourself? This is really childish. wibblebrain said:

This is really childish. king right it's meant to be about deals, you don't need to tell me that. All of this st really is not my doing. Still, suggesting we get on topic is tedious and self-satisfied apparently, and as this thread is now about anything, I definitely won't be shutting the fk up.
